Investigation of the pregnancy rate after intracytoplasmic sperm injection in patients with obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia

Background and objective: In 10-20% of men with abnormal semen, azoosperima, the absence of sperm in ejaculation is common. Up to now, there has been no chance of pregnancy for couples in which the male partner had permanent azoospermia except by the use of donor insemination treatment but intracyto...
