A patient with azoospermia wanting to father a biological child would most likely benefit from which ART technique?

Answer: ICSI with surgically retrieved sperm from testes.

  • A Intrauterine insemination using sperm donated by a screened anonymous donor
  • B ICSI with surgically retrieved sperm from testes
  • C Gamete intra-fallopian transfer using the wife's own retrieved eggs
  • D Zygote intra-fallopian transfer following standard IVF fertilization

Correct answer: B. ICSI with surgically retrieved sperm from testes

Explanation: Azoospermia (absence of sperm in ejaculate) can be treated by surgically extracting sperm directly from the testes (TESA/PESA), followed by ICSI where the single retrieved sperm is injected directly into the ovum.
