Abstract
Objective: Assessment of the optimal number of follicular flushes on retrieval rate and quality of oocytes in mono-follicular in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 246 oocyte pick-up procedures in mono-follicular IVF cycles of 226 poor responder women was performed. The primary endpoint was oocyte retrieval rate in the initial aspirate versus subsequent flushing episodes. The secondary endpoints were oocyte maturity, fertilization rates and embryo cleavage. Results: The procedure was successful in 187 cycles (76%), of which 160 metaphase-II oocytes were retrieved. Retrieval rates were similar for natural and modified natural cycles (p=0.595). The initial aspirate provided 54% of the total yield and the rest was obtained from up to four episodes of flushing. Follicular flushing increased oocyte recovery rate from 41.1% to 76%. None of the oocytes retrieved after three flushes fertilized. Oocyte maturity, fertilization and embryo cleavage rates were comparable for oocytes from the initial aspirate and one or two episodes of flushing. Oocytes obtained after the third flushing episode developed into poor quality embryos. Conclusion: Flushing confers a benefit for oocyte recover rates in mono-follicular IVF cycles in poor responder women. However, more than three attempts at flushing were not associated with good outcome. (J Turk Ger Gynecol Assoc 2022; 23: 33-7)
