To evaluate the effect of pentoxifylline used in preparation of semen samples that will be used for ICSI in infertile men complaining of mild and moderate asthenozoospermia (i.e. cases which does not need motility enhancement prior to ICSI) in comparison to semen samples without pentoxifylline preparation on the outcome of ICSI.
The primary outcome measures were the number of oocytes retrieved, the number of oocytes injected, number of oocytes fertilized, fertilization rate, number of embryos and their quality (G1: good embryos, G2: fair embryos and G3: bad embryos), number of embryos transferred (ET), number of embryo sacs, embryo implantation rate, pregnancy rate and abortion rate for all 3 groups and pregnancy rate and abortion rate for both group (I) and group (II).
