Abstract:

Total asthenozoospermia is a severe problem, as only a micromanipulation technique can assist the couple, and even then fertilization and pregnancy rates are very low. The first healthy birth, achieved by using testicular immotile spermatozoa in a case with total asthenozoospermia before and after Percoll gradient preparation, is reported.
