Zusammenfassung: | Objective: To determine the efficacy of electroejaculation in combination with assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Design: Case series.
Setting: University fertility program.
Patient(s): One hundred twenty-one consecutive couples seeking treatment of anejaculatory infertility.
