Abstract
Objective: FZEP sperm retrieved at the time of microsurgical epididymal aspiration are frequently cryopreserved and subsequently used for IVF/ICSI cycles. Clinical pregnancy rates with ICSI and FZEP sperm have been reported to be comparable to fresh epididymal sperm (65%). The relative ease and low morbidity of percutaneous testicular biopsy retrieval of FRTB sperm at the time of egg harvest have brought into question which is the preferred specimen. We undertook a retrospective review comparing the ICSI results using FZEP sperm versus FRTB sperm at a major university IVF center between 1995 and 2000.
