- Types of Cryopreservation -
Reproductive tissues can be cryopreserved for many years. Insemination using previously deposited frozen sperm has a greater chance of success than current techniques such as the reconnection of the vas after vasectomy or operative retrievals of sperm directly from the testicle by aspiration or biopsy. These latter procedures are used in association with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), which may not be necessary if an adequate number of stored sperm is available. The Tyler Medical Clinic was successful in producing a pregnancy using sperm cryopreserved at our bank for almost 20 years (a world record).
Although, more difficult than freezing sperm, eggs have been recently found to survive well using improved cryoprotectant solutions and techniques. These new developments offer the hope of preserving fertility for a large number of cancer patients and for women wishing to delay family building by storing their eggs at a younger age.
Testicular Tissue Cryopreservation and Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation
When sperm and eggs are not easily retrieved, testicular and ovarian tissue may be collected and stored.
