Male Factor ICSI

---

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) provides help for men with severe sperm dysfunction. In this procedure, a single sperm is micromanipulated and captured in a glass needle and is injected directly into the egg.



Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is a technique that allows the selection of a single sperm, based on limited morphological criteria for normalcy, and the injection of that sperm into the cytoplasm of a mature egg. The procedure benefits couples where the male has lower than normal sperm numbers and, or abnormal sperm morphology and where the female has abnormal egg morphology, with questions regarding egg maturity from previous IVF cycles. Moreover, ICSI benefits couples when previous IVF cycles have yielded less than a 50% fertilization rate.

ICSI is the single most important advancement in reproductive technology in the past decade due to its ability to completely alleviate male infertility and its diagnostic significance with regard to egg maturity.
