Popis: Purpose: We tested the hypothesis that spinal cord injury and/or anejaculation affects the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).Materials and Methods: From November 1993 to October 1998 we obtained and prospectively reviewed data on 34 ICSI cycles using electroejaculated sperm, 620 male factor infertility ICSI cycles using normal ejaculated sperm and 120 cases of obstructive azoospermia, in which microsurgical epididymal aspiration and testicular sperm extraction-ICSI were done in 93 and 27, respectively.Results: A total of 34 ICSI cycles were performed in 17 couples with male infertility due to anejaculation secondary to spinal cord injury in 10 patients and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in 5, and idiopathic in 2. In all 17 couples at least 3 previous intrauterine insemination cycles had failed. After electroejaculation 11 men had oligozoospermia and 6 normal sperm density. Median sperm retrieval volume plus or minus standard deviation was 1.9 ± 1.9 ml., median sperm concentration 7...
