What is it?
ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is a fertilization technique used within an IVF cycle: a selected sperm is introduced directly into the oocyte. In selected situations PICSI (Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) may be added as a complementary sperm-selection technique before performing ICSI.
Who is it for?
The fertilization technique is selected according to the clinical characteristics of each case and the assessment of the treating physician together with the embryology team; it is usually considered for male factor or previous cycles with low fertilization.
Approximate duration
It is performed on the same day as follicular aspiration, within the IVF cycle timeline.
Technology and technique
Micromanipulation in the embryology laboratory, followed by culture in controlled-condition incubators with time-lapse monitoring when indicated.
