Granulosa cells are essential mediators of oocyte maturation and fertilization. Because of the denudation of oocytes in preparation for ICSI, any potential positive effect of surplus cumulus cells (CCs) on further development would be unable to exert further effect. In order to evaluate the actual influence of adhering cumulus cells on further preimplantation development, this prospective study was carried out.
