    Author: Szamatowicz M.
    Journal: Ginekol Pol; 2007 Mar; 78(3):175-9. PubMed ID: 17650895.
    Abstract:
    The assisted reproductive technics (ART) compose the very valuable tool in the infertility treatment additionally to pharmacological and surgical methods. ART comparises the classical in vitro fertilization and embryotransfer (IVF/ET) intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) intrauterine insemination (IUI), microepididymal sperm spiration (MESA), and testicular sperm aspiration (TESA). Male infertility, tubal factor, ovarian factor, endometriosis or an unexplained infertility constitute pathologies where ART can be applied as the methods of choice or as the methods of the last chance. The efficacy of ART is closely related to the age of the female partner. Hence, taking a decision of the inappropriate treatment of the infertility and prolongation of such treatment for years is the "Theft" of the reproductive time of women and a diminution or even deprivation of the chance for pregnancy. The role and the appropriate time of the ART application in different infertility causes are described.
