Pregnancy after direct intraperitoneal insemination of spermatozoa from a man with severe infertility, after unsuccessful application of other methods of assisted fertilization

Direct intraperitoneal insemination (DIPI) is one of the least invasive strategies of assisted reproduction. Unexplained infertility and male sub-fertility are the major indications for DIPI.

Summary:Direct intraperitoneal insemination (DIPI) is one of the least invasive strategies of assisted reproduction. Unexplained infertility and male sub-fertility are the major indications for DIPI. It is otherwise well known that assisted procreation gives poor results in severe male infertility. This is a report of a pregnancy that occurred as a result of a direct intraperitoneal insemination of prepared spermatozoa characterized by a particularly severe astheno-teratozoospermia in a couple unsuccessfully treated with other, more invasive methods of assisted fertilization.
