Popis: Objectives To compare IVF rates using partial zona dissection versus zona intact insemination in couples with male infertility. To analyze pregnancy rates relative to sperm characteristics, fertilization rates, and treatment. Design Randomized prospective comparison of fertilization in sibling oocytes. Transfer of the three best quality embryos from one or both treatments. Setting Department of Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine, University Hospital, London, Ontario, Canada. Participants Thirty-two couples undergoing IVF with a principal diagnosis of male infertility. Intervention: Treatment with partial zona dissection. Main Outcome Measures Fertilization and pregnancy. Results Fertilization rates were 26% and 9% after partial zona dissection and IVF, respectively. Polyspermy was Conclusion Partial zona dissection was associated with minimal polyspermic fertilization and higher normal fertilization rates than sibling oocytes treated by modified IVF. Pregnancy occurred only after transfer of embryos from partial zona dissection or combined partial zona dissection and IVF.
