Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure is performed in cases of severe male factor infertility. The embryologist microscopically identifies a normal appearing, active sperm and will directly inject this single sperm into an egg that has been retrieved.
This technique is used when the man has a very low sperm count; a low number of normal-shaped sperm; or when sperm is retrieved from the epididymus or testis.
