ICSI is a micromanipulation technique used alongside IVF. In standard IVF, eggs and sperm are mixed in a dish, allowing fertilisation to happen on its own. In ICSI, the embryologist selects a single healthy-looking sperm and injects it directly into the cytoplasm of a mature egg. This allows fertilisation to bypass many of the natural barriers, making it ideal for couples facing male factor infertility or previous failed IVF cycles.
The technique has been a breakthrough in fertility medicine, offering hope to couples with even the most severe sperm-related issues.
The ICSI process begins with ovarian stimulation in the female partner, followed by egg retrieval. On the same day, a semen sample is collected from the male partner or obtained via surgical extraction if required.
In the laboratory, individual sperm are examined under a microscope. One sperm is carefully selected and injected into each mature egg using a very fine needle. This step is done with exceptional precision using specialised micromanipulation tools.
Fertilised eggs are then monitored for development, and healthy embryos are transferred into the uterus or frozen for future use.
Success depends heavily on egg quality, sperm health and embryo development.
