Abstract
The removal of all debris and background, as well as antifertility fac tors present in seminal fluid, may increase the fertilizing ability of spermatozoa. A number of semen manipulative techniques are currently available to remove the undesirable spermatozoa, debris and other fact ors anti to increase sperm quality before performance of the various a ssisted reproductive technologies. We compared the impact of the wash and concentration method, swim-up method, 80% Percoll method, migratio n-gravity sedimentation method and SpermPrep method on postmanipulatio n sperm quality.
