Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p> <italic>Purpose:</italic> The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of in vitro maturation-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVM-ICSI) technique on the treatment of azoospermic patients with a history of infectious parotitis (mumps). <italic>Methods:</italic> Spermatozoa were obtained from the testes of azoospermic patients with a history of mumps and fertilized by ICSI. Eggs were retrieved from the spouse of patients in the natural cycle. Fertilized embryos were transferred into the uterus of patients' respective spouses. <italic>Results:</italic> Live sperm were retrieved from 16 of out of 24 (67%) azoospermic patients with a history of mumps. Using IVM-ICSI, the normal fertilization rate was 71.2%. A total of 23 treatment cycles were completed in the spouses of 16 patients and of these, 9 patients' spouses became pregnant (a pregnancy rate of 39.1%). The success rate for infertility treatment of mumps patients was equally high at 56.3% (9/16). <italic>Conclusion:</italic> The IVM-ICSI technique is a simple, effective and economic method for infertility treatment in azoospermic patients with a history of mumps</p> </abstract>
