Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a new sperm retrieval technique called micromapping testicular sperm extraction (MMTSE) for treating nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA), aimed at providing a less invasive and more effective approach than traditional microscopic testicular sperm extraction (mTESE).
- MMTSE involves dividing the testis into four sections and making small needle holes to extract tubules, while allowing for real-time assessment of tissue for sperm presence.
- Results showed that all 15 patients in the sperm-positive group retrieved sperm successfully, while only 4 out of 25 in the sperm-negative group were successful with mTESE, highlighting MMTSE's potential benefits.
Purpose: To investigate whether progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) with chlormadinone acetate (CMA) adversely affects clinical results and neonatal outcomes, or causes congenital deformities.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at private IVF clinic from November 2018 to November 2021. Women underwent oocyte retrieval using gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol ( = 835) or PPOS protocol ( = 57) were included.
