In a nutshell This study directly compared the effectiveness of microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) versus multiple needle-pass percutaneous testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) in infertile men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). The data showed that the sperm retrieval rate was higher with mTESE than with multiple needle-pass...
Read MoreComparing the effectiveness and safety of single-dose versus multiple-dose GnRH agonist for luteal-phase support in patients undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles.
In a nutshell This study compared the effectiveness and safety of single-dose (DS) versus multiple-dose (MD) GnRH agonist protocol for luteal phase support in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. The data showed that the MD protocol was more effective in increasing the live birth and...
