Intra-uterine insemination versus fallopian tube sperm perfusion for non-tubal infertility

Fallopian Tube Sperm Perfusion in Treatment of Nontubal Subfertility: Is It Crucial Step prior to ART?

“…In the present study, we simply used the pediatric Foley's catheter balloon system in single and double FSP which were easily performed in all patients and with no case of inseminate reflux observed. In most of the previous studies, FSP was compared with standard IUI, and different results were obtained; in some studies, the pregnancy rate was significantly higher than IUI [ 6 , 7 , 10 , 14 ]. However, despite these controversial results, a recent Cochrane meta-analysis and systemic review has that in patients with non-tubal fertility, FSP proved to give rise to higher pregnancy rates than IUI and therefore should be advised in these patients [ 8 , 9 ].…”

“…In the previous studies, the pregnancy rate per cycle achieved in couples with unexplained infertility after ovarian stimulation when FSP was used has been reported to be in the range of 8.6–40% [ 6 , 7 , 10 , 14 ]. The results reported in this study concerning single FSP group were comparable.…”

“…There is firm evidence that FSP gives rise to higher pregnancy rates than standard IUI in couples with subfertility and therefore should be advised in these couples [ 8 , 9 ] as shown by Cantineau et al [ 10 ]. However, unlike double IUI explored I, the efficacy of double FSP has not been yet explored.…”
