We have developed an insemination method using a large (4 ml) volume of the inseminate. This method incorporates ovarian stimulation, isolation of an optimal number of motile spermatozoa and, finally, Fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP). In a clinical study, 139 couples with various causes of infertility, had a total of 239 treatment cycles. The pregnancy rate per treatment in groups with endometriosis, ovulation disorders, tubal impairment, combined male and female factors and subnormal sperm quality were low, ranging from 2.7% to 7.7%. In patients with unexplained infertility, the pregnancy rate per treatment was 26.9% and for this group, the pregnancy rate in the first treatment cycle was 37.3%. In the cervical hostility group, two pregnancies occurred after five treatments. FSP seems to be a favourable treatment for couples with cervical hostility or unexplained infertility. About half of the women in these groups conceived after three treatment cycles. FSP is easier to perform and is less expensive than other methods of assisted procreation, such as in vitro fertilization and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer.

D005187 Fallopian Tubes A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
