The study found that the total quality of testicular tissue and rare presence of spermatozoa significantly affected the fertilisation rate, while factors such as total tissue quality, cryopreservation of low-quality samples, absence of motile spermatozoa, and poor spermatozoa morphology had a negative impact on the number of good quality embryos. However, clinical pregnancy rate, ongoing pregnancy rate, and live birth rate were not affected by the parameters examined in the study.
Our ability to predict the potential of testicular spermatozoa to support embryonic development is still limited. Although motility of testicular spermatozoa is associated with embryo development, the impact of morphology and the presence of spermatozoa in the testicular sample has not been previously researched. Moreover, while the majority of data indicate no effect of cryopreservation, there are studies reporting impaired clinical outcomes due to testicular cryopreservation. In a retrospective study, 118 ICSI-TESE cycles were analysed to study the impact of (a) total quality of testicular tissue, (b) testicular tissue cryopreservation and (c) presence/motility/morphology of testicular spermatozoa in fertilisation rate, embryonic development, clinical pregnancy (CPR), ongoing pregnancy (OPR) and live birth rate (LBR). Results showed that fertilisation rate was significantly affected by both total quality of testicular tissue (p < .05) and rare presence of spermatozoa (p < .01). Moreover, total tissue quality (p < .01), cryopreservation of low-quality samples (p < .01), absence of motile testicular spermatozoa (p < .01) and poor spermatozoa morphology (p < .05) had a negative impact on the number of good quality day 3 embryos. CPR, OPR or LBR was not affected by any parameters examined. Our data suggest that the quality of testicular tissue influences both fertilisation rate and embryo development. Moreover, cryopreservation of low-quality testicular samples has a negative impact on the number of available embryos for transfer.
