dc.description.abstract	This paper reports the outcome of 274 treatment cycles using multiple injection of sperm into the perivitelline space as a treatment of male factor infertility. A total of 170 couples underwent this form of treatment; 59.1% of cycles had at least one oocyte normally fertilized with an overall normal fertilization rate of 17.2%. The development rate of normally fertilized embryos was high (98.5%) and resulted in a pregnancy rate (positive human chorionic gonadotrophin 18 days after embryo transfer) of 21.4% per embryo transfer procedure (a maximum of 3 embryos were transferred per procedure). The relationship between the number of sperm injected and the fertilization rate and other factors affecting the outcome are discussed.
