ICSI
stands for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. In this procedure a single
sperm cell is isolated with a micro-pipette, immobilized and injected into
a single egg (oocyte). Fertilization occurs and the growing embryo
is transferred back to the mother's uterus. Before ICSI, patients
with low sperm counts were unable achieve to pregnancy. With this
technology, thousands of healthy babies have been born. |
