Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproductive technique [4] (ART) initially developed by Dr. Gianpiero D. Palermo [5] in 1993 to treat male infertility [6]. It is most commonly used in conjunction with in vitro [7] fertilization [8] (IVF) or a less commonly used technique called zygote intrafallopian transfer [9] (ZIFT). In natural fertilization [8], the sperm [10] must pe...

Indications for intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the latest of several microfertilization techniques that have been utilized predominantly to overcome severe male subfertility, giving fertilization and term pregnancy rates similar to conventional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) (but for other indications). Even though available data on children born after ICSI are very encouraging, the procedure must st...

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

IVF has become a well-established treatment for certain types of infertility, including long-standing infertility due to tubal disease, endometriosis, unexplained infertility or infertility involving a male factor. Soon it became clear that certain couples with severe male-factor infertility could not be helped by conventional IVF. Extremely low sperm counts, impaired motility and/or abnormal m...

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: method and application in veterinary science

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is the newest and the most successful micromanipulation technique for treating male factor infertility. It entails the mechanical insertion of a chosen spermatozoon directly in to the cytoplasm of an oocyte. The technique was used in veterinary science for the purpose of clarifying the different steps of fertilization by investigating the fusion and penetration ...
