OBJECTIVE To use injection of spermatids into oocytes as a mode of infertility treatment in cases in which spermatozoa are not available. METHODS Prospective clinical evaluation and case report. METHODS In Vitro Fertilization Unit, Herzliya Medical Centers, Herzliya-on-Sea, Israel. METHODS Thirteen couples with male factor infertility in which the male partner lacked spermatozoa in the ejaculate or testicular biopsy samples. METHODS Round spermatid injection and elongated spermatid injection into oocytes. METHODS Evaluation of the rate of two-pronucleated and single-nucleated zygote development. RESULTS The rate of two-pronucleated zygote development after round spermatid injection and elongated spermatid injection was relatively low (27% and 36%, respectively). Single-nucleated zygotes develop more frequently after round spermatid injection and elongated spermatid injection (35% and 17%, respectively) than after intracytoplasmic sperm injection with mature spermatozoa. A normal pregnancy and childbirth resulted from the transfer of 4 cleaving embryos, each of which developed from a single-nucleated zygote in a round spermatid injection treatment cycle with ejaculated spermatids. CONCLUSIONS Embryos derived from single-nucleated zygotes after spermatid conception can be viable and give rise to an ongoing clinical pregnancy and childbirth.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007248 Infertility, Male The inability of the male to effect FERTILIZATION of an OVUM after a specified period of unprotected intercourse. Male sterility is permanent infertility. Sterility, Male,Sub-Fertility, Male,Subfertility, Male,Male Infertility,Male Sterility,Male Sub-Fertility,Male Subfertility,Sub Fertility, Male
D008297 Male Males
D009845 Oligospermia A condition of suboptimal concentration of SPERMATOZOA in the ejaculated SEMEN to ensure successful FERTILIZATION of an OVUM. In humans, oligospermia is defined as a sperm count below 20 million per milliliter semen.

D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011446 Prospective Studies Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group. Prospective Study,Studies, Prospective,Study, Prospective
D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
