First Time

The present study was aimed to cryopreserve mature, immature oocytes and in vitro produced embryos in Iraqi sheep using vitrification technique by local, simple and cost effective vitrification tool. This tool is an innovative straw called vitripeace invented, designed and used for the first time. Immature oocytes were aspirated from ovaries of slaughtered ewes and subjected to in vitro maturation and in vitro fertilization programs.The immature, mature oocytes and embryos were vitrified using Vitripeace tools, then thawed and assessed for the morphology and viability. The results revealed non-significant effect of time on viability (%) and normal morphology (%) of vitrified immature and mature oocytes for post-thawing and 2 hours post-thawing. The results showed significant (P<0.05) reduction   in the viability (%) of 2 cell embryo namely 88.89% and 77.78 %  for post-thawing and two hours post-thawing respectively. The results revealed a significant (P<0.05) reduction on normal morphology of 1 cell embryo namely 88.24 % and 76.47 %  for post-thawing  and two hours post-thawing respectively. Significant (P<0.05) differences in the percentage of normal morphology were found at post-thawing period for all stages of embryo development which were 90.74%, 88.31, 88.24 and 83.33 for immature , mature oocytes, 1 cell and 2 cell embryos, respectively while no significant differences in the viability at post-thawing period among all stages of embryo development. It was concluded that, successful vitrification of oocytes and embryos was resulted using Vitripeace which was novel, simple and cost effective vitrification tool.

Vasectomy Reversal

In men with prior vasectomy, microsurgical reconstruction of the reproductive tract is more cost-effective than sperm retrieval with in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection if the obstructive interval is less than 15 years and no female fertility risk factors are present. If epididymal obstruction is detected or advanced female age is present, the decision to use either microsurgical reconstruction or sperm retrieval with in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection should be individualized. Sperm retrieval with in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection is preferred to surgical treatment when female factors requiring in vitro fertilization are present or when the chance for success with sperm retrieval and intracytoplasmic sperm injection exceeds the chance for success with surgical treatment.

Tubal Surgery

AbstractThe decision whether to enhance diffusion and to reimburse for the fertility treatment in-vitro fertilization (IVF) was postponed in the Netherlands until the results of a cost-effectiveness analysis were known. IVF appeared to be as cost-effective as its most important alternative, tubal surgery. But policy decisions still were not straightforward, obscuring important social and ethical issues.
