ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced fertility treatment where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to achieve fertilization. This technique is particularly effective for male factor infertility.
At Bintez, our embryologists are highly trained in ICSI techniques, using state-of-the-art equipment to maximize fertilization success rates.
Who is ICSI For?
- Severe Male Factor Infertility: Very low sperm count or poor motility
- Previous IVF Failure: When standard IVF did not result in fertilization
- Azoospermia: No sperm in ejaculate (requires surgical retrieval)
- Anti-Sperm Antibodies: When sperm are attacked by the body
The ICSI Process
- Egg Retrieval: Same as IVF - eggs collected from ovaries
- Sperm Collection: Sample provided or surgically retrieved
- Sperm Injection: Single sperm injected into each mature egg
- Embryo Culture: Fertilized eggs develop in laboratory
- Embryo Transfer: Best embryo(s) transferred to uterus
Benefits
- High Fertilization Rates: Over 70% of eggs fertilize
- Overcomes Male Factor: Effective for severe sperm issues
- Same Success as IVF: Pregnancy rates comparable to standard IVF
- Advanced Technology: Performed by expert embryologists

Yes — ICSI is a well-established technique used worldwide for decades, with an established safety record comparable to standard IVF.
