ICSI

Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a procedure consisting of an injection of a single sperm directly into an egg in order to fertilize it. This fertilized egg (embryo) is then transferred to the uterus of the expecting mother.


 The procedure for ICSI is similar to that for IVF. The difference is that whereas in the IVF process the fertilization is induced in a dish, in ICSI the physician selects sperm from a given sample and then a single sperm is directly injected into each egg.


 ICSI is known to be the most successful form of fertility treatment and forms almost half of all assisted means reproduction methods.
