Partial zona dissection of the human oocyte: a nontraumatic method using micromanipulation to assist zona pellucida penetration
Partial zona dissection (PZD), a method using mechanical force to open the human zona pellucida, and zona drilling, which uses acidic Tyrode’s (AT) medium, were compared in 1-day-old oocytes prior to reinsemination.

Zusammenfassung: | Partial zona dissection (PZD), a method using mechanical force to open the human zona pellucida, and zona drilling, which uses acidic Tyrode’s (AT) medium, were compared in 1-day-old oocytes prior to reinsemination. The incidences of monospermy and polyspermy were 13/54 (24%) and 14/54 (26%) following PZD and 6/46 (13%) and 8/46 (17%) following the use of AT medium. This compared favorably with conventional reinsemination: 15/161 (9%) monospermy and 4/161 (3%) polyspermy. Three of the 27 PZD embryos became blastocysts, while none of the AT-exposed embryos developed satisfactorily. Eleven male-factor couples had some of their oocytes randomly treated with PZD prior to insemination; each of the patients had non-micromanipulated control oocytes. Monospermic fertilization and cleavage (23/34; 68%) doubled (P < 0.05) when PZD was compared with the control oocytes (10/30; 33%). Replacing two PZD and a single control embryo in two patients resulted in twin pregnancies. A third twin pregnancy was established following replacement of only micromanipulated embryos. |
