Abstract |
Subfertility is a condition found in up to 15% of couples of reproductive age. Gamete micromanipulation, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), is very useful for treating couples with compromised sperm parameters. Recently a new method of sperm selection named 'motile sperm organelle morphology examination' (MSOME) has been described and the spermatozoa selected under high magnification (over 6000x) used for ICSI. This new technique, named intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI), has a theoretical potential to improve reproductive outcomes among couples undergoing assisted reproduction techniques (ART). |
