Why Choose an Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection?
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) allows fertilization to ensue and increase pregnancy rates in many couples suffering from moderate to severe male factor infertility (low sperm count, motility, and / or morphology). In addition it can be used in infertility of unknown causes, and occasionally in older females.
ICSI patients undergo the standard in vitro fertilization procedure with the exception that a single sperm cell is injected directly into each egg.
In these procedures, a single sperm is extracted directly from the male’s reproductive tract, specially prepared, and inserted into the female’s egg.

ICSI is a delicate embryological procedure that requires specialized tools (micromanipulation) and advanced training. Research into ICSI has focused on the impact of ICSI on the meiotic spindle. The spindle is a “web-like” intracellular structure that is crucial for normal chromosome alignment and separation during fertilization.
