Purpose: Recently, noninvasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (niPGT-A) using cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid has been developed; however, there are few reports on this and the results are inconsistent. This study was conducted to optimize the cultural environment.

Methods: We used 35 blastocysts that had been discarded after in-vitro fertilization.

Article Synopsis
  • * Results indicated that in single-blastocyst transfers, hysteroscopic polypectomy had a higher pregnancy rate (68.2%) compared to curettage (51.4%), with odds ratios showing a significant advantage for hysteroscopy.
  • * Overall, hysteroscopic polypectomy led to better pregnancy and live birth rates than curettage, although there was no significant difference in miscarriage rates between the two methods.

Purpose: Early rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is often performed in cases in which not even a single oocyte has extruded a second polar body 6 h after insemination. We evaluated the usefulness of expanding the indications of early rescue ICSI to cases in which <80% of oocytes have extruded second polar bodies 6 h after insemination.

Methods: Early rescue ICSI was performed on oocytes that were denuded 2.

Purpose: When rescue artificial oocyte activation (ROA) is performed on the day after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or later, embryonic development is poor and seldom results in live births. The efficacy of an early ROA after ICSI is unclear. Is early ROA effective in rescuing unfertilized oocytes that have not undergone second polar body extrusion several hours after ICSI?

Methods: We performed retrospective cohort study between October 2016 and September 2019, targeting 2891 oocytes in 843 cycles when ICSI was performed.
