procedure (embryos eligible for transfer contained 38 years of age or who had two or more unsuccessful treatment cycles previously.
Results: The mean age of the woman and the mean number of MIl oocytes injected were not different significantly between the two groups. When parameters were analysed individually, a higher normal fertilization rate and a higher proportion of good quality embryos were detected in group 2 that were related to the modified microinjection technique and to the modified culture method respectively. Pregnancy and implantation rates were significantly higher in group 2 when parameters were analysed collectively (Table I). Table I.
