IVF ICSI Overview
This procedure has revolutionized the treatment of male infertility since it allows couples to achieve fertilization, even when only a handful of sperm are available. With IVF ICSI, fertilization is achieved by the laboratory technician. During routine IVF, by incubating eggs and sperm together, fertilization occurs on its own. With IVF ICSI, the embryologist surgically inserts one sperm into each egg. This is done by perforating the membrane of the egg with a glass pipette, which contains the sperm.

It requires highly developed skills. Because only one sperm is needed per egg, even very small quantities of semen will do. This becomes especially important in males with azoospermia (the complete lack of semen on ejaculation). In such cases, we can offer a procedure called testicular sperm extraction (TESE), where our urologist extracts small amounts of semen directly from the testes, which can be used for ICSI.

In a very high percentage of cases, azoospermic males can achieve fatherhood. Various testicular extraction procedures are also being performed. The most frequently used go under the acronyms MESA, PESA and TESE.
