PURPOSE: To compare obstetrical and neonatal outcomes of embryo transfer cycles using fresh vs. frozen-thawed testicular sperm derived from microTESE in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients.
DESIGN: The retrospective cohort study included a total of 48 couples diagnosed with NOA who underwent 93 ET cycles, both fresh and frozen-thawed embryos, and resulted in pregnancy. ET cycles were divided into two groups according to sperm type, fresh (46 cycles, 49.5%) or frozen (47 cycles, 50.5%) testicular sperm. The primary outcome was the birth weight of newborns correlated with gestational week (birth weight percentile).
RESULTS: A comparison of patients' basic characteristics and ET cycle parameters showed no significant clinical differences between the groups. A total of 172 embryos were transferred, 86 (50%) in each group. A higher rate of good-quality blastocysts was found in the fresh testicular group (83.3% vs. 50%, p = 0.046). A comparison of pregnancy outcomes showed no significant differences in clinical pregnancy, implantation, or live birth rates. A total of 53 cycles resulted in live birth, 26 (49%) and 27 (51%) in the fresh and frozen groups, respectively. No difference was found in pregnancy length, delivery mode, or obstetrical complications. A total of 61 newborns were included, 31 (51%) and 30 (49%) in fresh and frozen testicular groups, respectively. No significant differences were found in mean birth weight or birth weight percentile between the groups.
CONCLUSION: No significant differences were found in obstetrical outcomes when comparing ET cycles using fresh or frozen-thawed testicular sperm retrieved from microTESE. Moreover, there is no association between the sperm source and the birth weight of newborns.
