What is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)?
ICSI, or intracytoplasmic sperm injection, is a method used particularly for couples facing issues such as low sperm count or poor sperm motility.
Unlike standard IVF treatment, in ICSI, a single sperm cell is directly injected into the egg using a glass needle. Because of this direct injection, the success rate of fertilization is higher compared to the conventional IVF method.
We use the ICSI method as a standard in all our treatments.
Who is ICSI Applied to?
- In cases of very low sperm count
- In cases of azoospermia (zero sperm)
- For couples who have previously undergone conventional IVF treatment without success
- In cases of sperm abnormalities (morphology)
- For couples experiencing unexplained infertility
- For patients undergoing preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)
How is ICSI Applied?
The difference between standart IVF and ICSI can be summarized as follows: In conventional IVF treatment, after collecting the eggs and sperm cells, they are placed together in the same environment and left to fertilize on their own. In ICSI, high-quality sperm selected under a microscope are injected into the egg cell using micropipettes. The difference between conventional IVF and ICSI lies in the fertilization process.
To obtain the healthiest sperm cell for injection, the sperm undergoes a series of processes in the laboratory. Only sperm cells with normal morphology and rapid movement are used for fertilization, thereby increasing the chances of success.
Successful Treatments with a Well-Equipped Embryology Laboratory
The strength of an embryology laboratory equipped with advanced technology is one of the crucial factors affecting treatment success. In our laboratory, we apply the ICSI method in many treatments with the latest technology devices and internationally certified embryologists.
