Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

ICSI is a procedure used in conjunction with IVF in which a single sperm is inserted with a micro-needle into the cytoplasm of a mature egg. ICSI is often used if the male partner has very low sperm count, low sperm motility, or poor quality sperm. If fertilization occurs after ICSI, the embryo may then be transferred into the uterus.
