Intracystoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
At CFG one of the types of infertility we manage is male factor infertility. In the past 8 years the medical breakthrough of intracystoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has allowed couples to conceive where otherwise it would have not been possible. Below is shown the sequence leading to the formation of an embryo from the ICSI procedure.
At The Center for Fertility and Gynecology, we go further than many infertility practices. One example is our reproductive urology affiliation. This allows patients with male factor infertility to undergo
microepididymal sperm aspiration (MESA), and testicular sperm extraction (TESE), when necessary. These procedures in combination with ICSI can produce outstanding results.
