Reproductive Outcomes in Infertile Men With Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): A Retrospective Case-Control Analysis
2020, UrologyCitation Excerpt :Although a strong trend toward reduced PR/C was recorded in SCI patients, the reproductive outcomes were similar among groups. Supporting our theories, Shieh et al found similar pregnancy rates when comparing 10 ICSI cycles in SCI couples and to 214 ICSI cycles in non-SCI couples.27 Kathiresan et al also yield lower FRs but similar pregnancy and live births outcomes in men with SCI compared to non-SCI patients with male factor infertility.24
Summary of European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines on Neuro-Urology
2016, European UrologyCitation Excerpt :Surgical procedures, such as microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration and testicular sperm extraction, may be used if these methods are not successful [60]. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a valuable option for men with SCI [61]. Patients and fertility clinics must be informed about the possible occurrence of autonomic dysreflexia during sexual activity and ejaculation, especially in men with SCI at or above T6.
Management of male neurologic patients with infertility
2015, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :As with IUI, the success rate of IVF/ICSI with neurologic infertility is only studied specifically for SCI men. Here studies have found pregnancy rates which vary between 38% and 100% per couple (Dahlberg et al., 1995; Hultling et al., 1997; Lochner-Ernst et al., 1997; Sonksen et al., 1997; Rutkowski et al., 1999; Heruti et al., 2001; Shieh et al., 2003). Neurologic disorders can cause infertility, predominantly in male patients.
Comparison of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in male factor infertility patients with and without spinal cord injuries
2011, Fertility and SterilityCitation Excerpt :The present study found a lower rate of fertilization in the SCI group compared with the non-SCI group. In contrast to that finding, the study by Shieh et al. (18) found similar fertilization rates between the two groups. In that study, however, 10% of the data in the SCI group came from non-SCI donor sperm, which may have biased the outcome.
