N2 - Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes and development of children born between obstructive azoospermia (OA) couples and nonobstructive azoospermia couples (NOA) after testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Materials and methods: Data were collected from infertile couples suffering from azoospermia who underwent TESE and ICSI from January 2001 to December 2009 at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan. A total of 154 ICSI cycles were performed using extracted testicular sperm from men with obstructive azoospermia (67 ICSI cycles) and men with nonobstructive azoospermia (87 ICSI cycles). Retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes and development of children born after TESE-ICSE between obstructive azoospermia couples and nonobstructive azoospermia couples. Results: The assisted reproductive technology (ART) result between OA and NOA groups, including age, E2 level on hCG day, number of oocytes retrieved, normal fertilization rate, zygote Grade 1 score distribution, number of top-quality embryos transferred, clinical pregnancy rate per transfer, chemical pregnancy rate per transfer, implantation rate, live birth rate per transfer, and abortion rate per transfer, were all similar. Thirty-one live births resulted from 67 ICSE cycles in the OA group and 33 live births from 87 ICSE cycles in the NOA group. The obstetric and perinatal outcomes were similar between the groups, and children conceived by using ICSI were generally healthy without raised tendency of major birth defect and development impairment. Conclusion: In our study, there were no differences in the fertility rate and clinic pregnancy rate between the OA and NOA groups using TESE-ICSI. Also, the clinical outcomes and development of children were similar between the OA and the NOA groups using TESE-ICSI.
