In this specialized type of In Vitro fertilization (IVF), a single sperm is injected into an egg directly, to fertilize it.
When a man's sperm count is low, his sperm motility is poor, or his sperm have an aberrant shape that prevents them from fertilizing the egg on their own, ICSI is frequently employed. In situations where prior IVF attempts have failed, it may also be used.
A single sperm is chosen and immobilized via ICSI using a tiny needle. The sperm is then injected into the cytoplasm of the egg after the needle has been pushed through the egg's outer shell. After the sperm injection, the egg is examined to make sure fertilization has taken place.
Before being implanted into the woman's uterus, the embryo is given time to mature in a lab after fertilization.
