The increasing incidence of
male subfertility
as an indication for
ART
is first discussed. The tendency to use assisted reproduction techniques in such cases is attributed to the disappointing results of classical treatments. The Authors deal with two problems: the choice of the best treatment methods of the sperm and the choice of the best technique of
ART
for treating male infertility. The analysis of 138 couples treated for
male subfertility
showed that the centrifugation on discontinuous Percoll gradients (CDPG) and especially on the mini-Percoll (mini CDPG) offers the best results if compared with pellet swim up and other techniques. With reference to the technique of choice, an accurate analysis of tubal (TET and ZIFT) and uterine (IVF/ET) transfers shows that no advantage seems to be obtained with the more sophisticated and exacting tubal transfer. This final conclusion is presently evaluated on the basis of a retrospective study.
