Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

This procedure is most commonly used to overcome male infertility problems, although it may also be used where eggs cannot easily be penetrated by sperm, and occasionally in addition to sperm donation.



It can be used in teratozoospermia, because once the egg is fertilized, abnormal sperm morphology does not appear to influence blastocyst development or blastocyst morphology. Even with severe teratozoospermia, microscopy can still detect the few sperm cells that have a "normal" morphology, allowing for optimal success rate. The first American baby was conceived with the technique At Reproductive Biology Associates (RBA) in Atlanta, Georgia in 1992 under the direction of Michael Tucker, PhD and Joe Massey, MD. ( ref. Case report, American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Abstract report at ASRM meeting, Montreal, Canada, 1993.) The first large experience with the technique in the United States was published by Joseph D. Schulman and colleagues at Genetics and IVF Institute in 1995.
