The purpose of this study was to assess the rate of survival of frozen epididymis sperms after being thawed and to evaluate the effectiveness of the method of injecting frozen - thawed epididymis sperm into intra - cytoplasm in. Clinical interventional trial: of 89 couples whose epididymis sperm was frozen - thawed, 79 cases had enough survival sperm for ICSI representing approximately 88.8 percent
there are 10 cases of 100 percent sperm dead representing approximately 11.2 percent
in 72 cases whose embryos were transferred, there were 43 clinical pregnancy cases representing approximately 59.7 percent, 7 cases whose embryos were totally frozen because of ovarian hyper - stimulation syndrome. The preliminary results on applying technique of injecting frozen - thawed epididymis sperm into intra - cytoplasm have shown that this method was effective and there were no difference comparing to the method of using fresh epididymis sperm.
