Abstract: Men with non-obstructive azoospermia might get their offspring with paternal genetic material by micro-injecting haploid spermatid into oocytes (round spermatid injection,ROSI;elongated spermatid injection,ELSI). The haploid spermatid could be obtained from semen,testis biopsy specimens or in vitro culture of spermatogenic cells. But the fertilization rate and pregancy rate after micro-injecting with haploid spermatids were not satisfactory. In this paper,we discussed the ROSI/ELSI technique and its progress,the spermatid injection and activation,and its clinic application,as well as clinical and technical problems.
