Fertility After Ovarian Cystectomy: How Does Surgery Affect IVF/ICSI Outcomes?
2019
Abstract Introduction For patients considering undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART), many concerns arise when persistent ovarian cysts are found. This large study aimed to determine how ovarian cyst removal affects success rates of IVF/ICSI therapies. Methods 550 patients who underwent an IVF/ICSI treatment between 2002 and 2011 with a persistent ovarian cyst ≤ 5 cm before treatment were analyzed retrospectively. 328 patientsʼ preference was to undergo a laparoscopic cystectomy and 222 patients opted for a conservative management. Control subjects included 13 552 patients undergoing IVF/ICSI at the same period of time without an ovarian cyst. Results After adjusting for age, pa…
A high oocyte yield for intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment is associated with an increased chromosome error rate.
2009
Objective To compare the chromosome error rate among oocytes from stimulated ovaries after retrieval of 1–5 oocytes, 6–10 oocytes, and >10 oocytes. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting A university-based human genetic institute in collaboration with a private fertility center. Patient(s) Nine hundred thirty-three women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with a poor prognosis. Intervention(s) Oocyte collection with ovarian stimulation. Polar body testing of ICSI oocytes for common chromosome errors. Main Outcome Measure(s) Chromosome error rate in oocytes, as determined by five-color fluorescence in situ hybridization. Result(s) In women less than 35 years and women bet…
Outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection with and without polar body diagnosis of oocytes.
2008
Objective To compare the reproductive outcome of women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with or without polar body diagnosis of oocytes. Design Nonrandomized retrospective study. Setting University-based human genetic institute in collaboration with a private fertility center. Patient(s) Six hundred seven women undergoing ICSI with polar body diagnosis and 591 women undergoing ICSI without polar body diagnosis at the same time in the same fertility center. Intervention(s) Polar body testing of ICSI oocytes by five-color fluorescence in situ hybridization. Main Outcome Measure(s) Pregnancy rate (positive fetal heartbeats) and live-birth rate (of at least one child). Result(…
