[Morphological aspect of embryos obtained after fertilization in vitro for male factor or ICSI].

OBJECTIVE
In order to study the eventual impact on fertilization and embryo characteristics of the microinjection procedure we compared the quality of the embryos obtained by ICSI with those of in vitro fertilization with male factors (MF IVF).


MATERIAL AND METHODS
One hundred thirty-four cycles of IVF treatment (group 1) were selected with oligoasthenozoospermia according to WHO criteria with a total number of motile spermatozoa between 500,000 and 1 million. One thousand eighty-eight mature oocytes and 486 embryos were obtained. One hundred forty-three cycles of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (group 2) were performed in couples whose in vitro fertilization was imparticable because of extreme sperm impairment. One thousand one hundred forty-seven mature oocytes were injected and 626 embryos were obtained.


RESULTS
In group 1, the pregnancy rate per embryo transfer and the implantation rate were respectively 22.7% and 12.3%. In group 2, the pregnancy rate per embryo transfer was 37.1% and the implantation rate was 17%. The statistical analysis of the embryos obtained in the two different groups did not demonstrate any difference in the distribution of the more regular and less fragmented embryos (group A) and those of the more irregular and fragmented embryos (group B). No statistical difference was demonstrated in the chronology of the division of these embryos (groups 1 and 2).


CONCLUSION
The pregnancy rate by cycle and by transfer reported by ICSI (p < 0.003 and p < 0.015 respectively) could be related to a significantly higher mean number of transferred embryos (2.65 vs 2.02) in probable relation with a higher cleavage rate (p < 0.00001).
