Résumé / Abstract

Objectives: To assess the ability of sperm aspirated from the epididymis of men congenital absence of the vas deferens to penetrate zona-free hamster oocytes. To directly compare the performance of juman epididymal sperm in the zona-free hamster oocyte sperm penetration assay (SPA) with the results of human in vitro fertilization (IVF). Design: Sperm penetration assay was carried out with epididymal sperm retrieved microsurgically, and with ejaculated sperm obtained from fertile donors (internal controls). For direct comparison, SPA was performed with the same epididymal sperm sample used for IVF
