Abstract

OBJECTIVE: fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-embryo transfer (ET). METHODS: We report the clinical data of one case of combined transabdominal and transvaginal egg retrieval with a vaginal ultrasound probe in a patient with adenomyosis undergoing IVF/ICSI for fertilization. RESULTS: puncture through the abdomen. A total of 12 and 9 mature eggs were obtained from the left and right ovaries, respectively, and 1 embryo and 9 blastocysts were frozen after insemination. The patient was undergoing treatment for adenomyosis, and no embryos had been transferred. CONCLUSION: Transabdominal ovum retrieval guided by a vaginal ultrasound probe is a feasible, effective, and safe method for obtaining oocytes for patients who cannot retrieve eggs vaginally. In the clinical work of IVF/ICSI fertility, it is necessary to obtain a thorough medical history and assess the patient's condition before the cycle and conduct multidisciplinary consultation on difficult cases to improve the likelihood of pregnancy.
