ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced laboratory technique in which a single carefully selected sperm is injected directly into a mature egg under a high-magnification microscope. In conventional IVF, eggs and sperm are placed together to allow fertilization to occur naturally; in ICSI, fertilization is performed in a controlled manner by an experienced embryologist. ICSI is the standard solution for couples affected by male-factor infertility.
Important Information
- ICSI is required for male factor infertility (low sperm count/motility, abnormal morphology, surgically retrieved sperm) and after previous fertilization failure.
- When there is no male factor, conventional IVF is sufficient; ICSI is not routinely recommended.
- ICSI improves the fertilization rate but does not directly increase live birth rates — we believe in honest counseling on this point.
- When applied for the right indication, no significant increase in genetic risk has been observed.
Our Approach
Dr. Muzaffer evaluates each patient’s spermiogram and clinical history individually and decides whether ICSI is necessary, rather than offering it as a default upgrade.
