Before ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration, follicles were measured and those with maximal dimensional size &amp;#x3e;15 mm were tracked. Microscopic examination of the follicular aspirates was performed by an embryologist. Each follicle aspirated was evaluated for oocyte maturation, oocyte fertilization, and embryo quality. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; 457 follicles were measured: 380 (83.2%) in nonobese and 77 (16.8%) in obese patients. No in-between group differences were observed in the causes of infertility, patients\u2019 demographics, or ovarian stimulation characteristics. Oocytes were achieved during aspiration from 277 (72.8%) and 54 (70.0%) of the nonobese and obese groups, respectively (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; = 0.67). No in-between group differences were observed in fertilization (2PN\/oocyte), top quality embryo (TQE) per zygote (2PN), and TQE per follicle. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Oocyte recovery rate from follicles &amp;#x3e;15 mm is unrelated to patients\u2019 BMI. Moreover, the oocytes recovered from obese patients are competent yielding comparable zygote and TQE per follicle\/oocyte, compared with nonobese patients. Further investigation is required to strengthen this finding. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000508226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]],"date-time":"2020-06-02T21:01:41Z","timestamp":1591131701000},"page":"290-294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Do Follicles of Obese Patients Yield Competent Oocytes\/Embryos?"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Raoul","family":"Orvieto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aya","family":"Mohr-Sasson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adva","family":"Aizer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ravit","family":"Nahum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shlomit","family":"Blumenfeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michal","family":"Kirshenbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jigal","family":"Haas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7827-12-107"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/12.9.2002"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2001.110697"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.321.7272.1320"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/deh485"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/a:1026477628723"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijgo.2008.08.012"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/14.3.712"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2007.03.093"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2007.04.004"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2007.02.065"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2019.05.043"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dmz011"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/781543"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/jhrs.JHRS_75_16"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e31821fd360"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/des308"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13048-015-0187-6"}],"container-title":["Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/508226","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/508226","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:08:17Z","timestamp":1745424497000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000508226"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000508226","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0378-7346","1423-002X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0378-7346","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-002X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020]]}}}
