Healthy child conceived with the aid of assisted reproduction techniques using sperm cells from the urine of a man with retrograde ejaculation – a case report

Summary/Abstract: Introduction The retrograde ejaculation could be a postoperative complication in the prostate hyperplasia surgery and a cause of male infertility in couples. We hereby report such a case which was managed with positive outcome. Case report The paper presents the case of a couple diagnosed and successfully treated for primary male infertility. The 61-year-old male partner had ejaculatory dysfunction with complete retrograde ejaculation, in urine, as a result of a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The recovery of the male reproductive cells from urine and the use of assisted reproductive techniques, through the intracytoplasmic injection of sperm cells into the oocyte, have resulted in a healthy child. Conclusions The particularities of this case lie in the recognition of the importance of the urological and reproductive aspects occurred as postoperative complications due to the TURP. The detailing of the postoperative risks and the adequate substantiation of surgical protocol for benign prostate hyperplasia need to take into account the reproductive wishes and the future planning of a possible pregnancy for the couple.
