Educational video demonstrating the anatomy of the autonomic nerves of he pelvis and the laparoscopic neuronavigation technique for nerve-sparing radical endometriosis surgery.

Wide excision of the mesosalpinx does not impair ovarian reserve in women undergoing prophylactic salpingectomy. Moreover, wide salpingectomy is safe in terms of blood loss and postoperative recovery.

Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is a feasible and safe treatment option for myomectomy that offers surgical outcomes comparable to those with conventional laparoscopic myomectomy.

Long-term survival of epithelial ovarian cancer patients with isolated ovarian recurrence after conservative treatment remains favorable; grade 3 tumors (compared with grades 1/2) have a higher rate of extraovarian recurrences.

Polyethyleneimine prevented angiogenesis and promoted apoptosis in a mouse model of endometriosis, but prolonged treatments over time may be necessary to detect an effect of this compound on lesion size.

The current study suggests that MRI for determination of ovarian ultrastructure morphology in adolescent girls with PCOS may provide more information when compared with US.

Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A in human follicular fluid from follicles with different diameters shows highly significant associations with sex-steroids and antimullerian hormone, suggesting important functions of insulin-like growth factors.

The comprehensive carrier genetic screening test developed here offers a powerful tool to detect alleles for hundreds of Mendelian diseases in patients.

A validation study on 47 embryonic trophectoderm samples demonstrates that shallow whole genome sequencing is a preferable alternative for array comparative genomic hybridization in detecting structural and numerical chromosomal rearrangements in preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

Detection of mutations in all coding regions of the CFTR gene has great significance for patients with congenital absence of vas deferens, particularly because the relevant studies have not been performed in China.

This study identified six new FGFR1 mutations responsible for IHH and provides evidence that an alternative form of the encoded protein (isoform IIIb) can also cause this disorder.

Extracorporeal aspiration of immature oocytes from ovarian tissue, in vitro maturation, embryo cryopreservation, and a delayed frozen embryo transfer ultimately led to a live birth.

Liquid nitrogen (LN2) vapor was comparable to LN2 with respect to post-thaw sperm characteristics, and LN2 vapor may substitute for LN2 for the long-term storage of human sperm.

Cryopreservation of testicular tissue before culture does not influence the cell composition in longterm testicular cell cultures.

Using data from three infertility trials we identified race, ethnicity, body mass index, insurance coverage, history of smoking, and history of alcohol use as significant predictors of retention.

Among women with a history of infertility and planned pregnancies, concentrations of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) metabolites and their molar sum (PDEHP) were significantly lower in women who conceived after assisted reproductive technology (ART) compared with those who conceived without ART.

Women initiating treatment with assisted reproduction technology (ART) have no greater short-term risk for developing cancer compared with the general population or other women treated with ART.

We describe pregnancies in a large group of patients with hypopituitarism, finding that GH replacement is not related to healthy live births, gestational age at delivery, and birth weight.

A comparative analysis of urine metabolomic profiles, based on 1H-NMR spectroscopy, of endometriosis patients and healthy women facilitates the noninvasive identification of metabolites discriminating both groups.

Connective tissue diseases are associated to autoimmune thyroid disorders in pregnancy. Thyroid autoimmunity and antinuclear antibodies could have a detrimental effect on pregnancy outcomes.

Elevated early luteal phase interleukin-1b serum levels and interleukin-1b-to-interleukin-1 receptor antagonist ratio were associated with ectopic pregnancy after an in vitro fertilization cycle.

Women who used progestin-containing contraceptives had higher pain thresholds than healthy controls.

In vitro fertilization–fertilized embryos developed with a 1.5-hour delay, which disappeared after standardization to pronuclear fading, thus permitting the joint analysis of standard IVF- and ICSI-fertilized embryo cohorts.

Routine usage of Calcium ionophore solution to increase fertilization rate, pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate is not appropriate for patients who have diminished ovarian reserve.

BRCA mutation carriers are often claimed to harbor diminished reproductive performance. An in vitro fertilization database reveals intact ovarian reserve in both healthy and cancer-affected BRCA mutation carriers.

The rate of antimullerian hormone decline during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is associated with ovarian reserve, in vitro fertilization response, and clinical pregnancy, particularly in women older than 35 years of age.

Live birth rate decreased with increasing follicle stimulating hormone dose, regardless of number of oocytes retrieved.

Outcomes using embryos cryopreserved at the blastocyst stage or bipronuclear stage followed by thaw and culture to the blastocyst stage did not differ significantly.

Meiotic errors involving chromosome 16 of paternal origin seem to have an equally important influence on to the overall fetal aneuploidy rate compared with maternal chromosome 16 disomy.

Reflections on “Cryopreservation of testicular tissue prior to long-term testicular cell culture does not alter in vitro cell dynamics” by Baert et al.

Reflections on “A Comparison of Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction, Conventional Testicular Sperm Extraction, and Testicular Sperm Aspiration for Nonobstructive Azoospermia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis” by Bernie et al.

Principles and strategies for the evaluation and treatment of couples with infertility associated with obesity are discussed.

This opinion examines the factors that contribute to disparities in access to fertility care in the United States and proposes actions to address them.

Sperm retrieval was higher for microdissection compared with conventional testicular sperm extraction, and was also higher for conventional testicular sperm extraction compared with testicular sperm aspiration.

In the context of treating cancer, fertility preservation (FP) in young women is a major challenge. Many questions remain because controversial issues still exist (1). Unfortunately, only a small number of patients at risk of premature ovarian failure are referred to FP specialists to discuss different options (1). As reproduction specialists, we consider it vital to provide oncologists, hematologists, and all healthcare providers with accurate information, based on firm evidence, on fertility-sparing treatments, which could potentially have devastating consequences on their future quality of life.

This article provides a summary of the biopsychosocial model and the assessment and treatment of psychologically based male sexual dysfunction as manifested in cases of infertility.

This article provides a summary of the biopsychosocial model and the assessment and treatment of psychologically based male sexual dysfunction as manifested in cases of infertility.

Delayed orgasm and anorgasmia are associated with significant sexual dissatisfaction. There are many potential etiologies; unfortunately, there are no excellent pharmacotherapies. Treatment revolves around addressing potential causative factors and psychotherapy.

Treatment for aspermia, or a dry ejaculate, must be tailored to the individual patient and include consideration of ease of administration, degree of invasiveness, and anticipated success.
