Review highlights iatrogenic failures from sperm preparation techniques in assisted reproduction, indicating critical needs for protocol standardization.

Key Points

Examine how laboratory sperm preparation techniques can induce iatrogenic fertilization failure during in-vitro fertilization cycles.
Narrative review of laboratory protocols used for washing, separating, and isolating spermatozoa prior to insemination.
Evaluation of procedural hazards, chemical toxicities, and physical stressors that induce iatrogenic damage to sperm cells.
Suboptimal centrifugation and chemical media exposure qualitatively compromise sperm motility, membrane integrity, and fertilizing capacity.
Procedural inconsistencies during sperm handling represent a direct and preventable cause of failed fertilization in vitro.
