ICSI

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an in vitro fertilization laboratory procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, using a glass needle ( pipette) This process increases the likelihood of fertilization when there are abnormalities in the number, quality, or function of the sperm.

Fertilization occurs in 50% to 80% of injected eggs. Approximately 40% of all ICSI cycles performed in resulted in a live birth, which is comparableto rates seen with traditional IVE Younger patients may achieve even more favorable results. Factors such as poor egg quality and advanced maternal age may result in lower rates of success.

ICSI

ICSI (IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection): Males with very low sperm counts (less than 5million per ml) or poor quality sperms had no hope of fatherhood. This problem was surmounted by ICSI. In ICSI all the steps are similar to the procedure of IVF, except the step of fertilization. In ICSI each egg is held and injected with a single live sperm. This micro-fertilization is done with the help of a machine called the Micromanipulator. ICSI is done where egg is held and injected with single live sperm. It is cultured for 2-3 days and good quality of 3 embryos are usually placed in the woman’s uterus, 2 or 3 days after ICSI.

How is ICSI done?

In ICSI, the sperm is injected directly into the egg. The fertilized egg grows in the laboratory under suitable conditions to form an embryo. After the embryo develops optimally, it is transferred in the women’s womb.

• Chances of the baby having major birth defects are only around 1.5% to 3 %; very similar to babies conceived naturally.
