“…There have been relatively few reports on the use of micromanipulation procedures in the partners of SCI males. 18,44,58 Hultling et al, 20 comparing conventional IVF to an IVG/ICSI protocol, found a higher fertilisation rate after the introduction of ICSI but no di erence in the clinical pregnancy rate. They found a pregnancy rate per cycle for the IVF/ICSI protocol of 31% and a cumulative pregnancy rate per couple of 56%.…”

Objectives: To review the outcomes of management of male infertility following spinal cord injury in a specialised fertility clinic. Study Design: Retrospective review of medical records. Setting: The Fertility Clinic of a 45-bed spinal cord injury service in New South Wales, Australia. Methods: The medical and fertility clinic records of 113 males who attended the clinic between 1987 and 1997 were reviewed. Results: The rates of semen retrieval using vibroejaculation and electroejaculation were 67% and 97% respectively. Thirty-one individuals (37%) and their partners sought assistance with the primary aim of achieving a pregnancy. Intravaginal insemination (IVI) undertaken at home following vibroejaculation resulted in a pregnancy rate per cycle of 22%. Electroejaculation and IVI proved less successful with a pregnancy rate per cycle of only 5%, although with intrauterine insemination (IUI) this rate improved to 30%. Micromanipulation in vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedures, primarily intracytoplasmic sperm injection, were used in 18 couples resulting in a pregnancy rate per cycle of 19%. In the 31 couples there have been a total of 17 pregnancies in 97 cycle attempts for an overall pregnancy rate per cycle of 18% and a cumulative pregnancy rate per couple of 55%. Twelve of the pregnancies have resulted in 14 live births (including two sets of twins), there were three pregnancies ongoing at the date of review and there have been two spontaneous abortions. Conclusion: The bene®ts of a specialised fertility clinic o ering a comprehensive, clientfocused approach with education, fertility assessment and a range of semen retrieval and assisted reproduction options, are highlighted.

“…Rationale: Most men with SCI will experience some erectile and ejaculatory difficulties. As a result, assistance with fertility for biological fatherhood is often necessary (Brackett et al, 1998a, Yamamoto et al, 1997Rutkowski et al, 1999;Salsabili et al, 2006;Shieh et al, 2003, Brackett et al, 2007, Brinsden et al, 1997. For men with incomplete lesions, natural ejaculation and insemination with vaginal intercourse may be possible.…”

“…We have two successful cases as yet, in one of which the sperm motility rate was almost 0% and in the other 5%. 17 Theoretically, employment of ICSI almost always enables fertilization followed by pregnancy, even if the semen contains only a few spermatozoa as is the case in some patients. The development of reproductive technologies has decreased the signi®cance of semen quality.…”
