Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
ICSI: Boosting Fertility Through Direct Sperm Injection
If male infertility due to severe sperm issues is affecting your ability to conceive, Professor Biodun Nelson Olagbuji and Dr. Emmanuel David may recommend Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Offered at DOREN-GYNAECARE IVF, ICSI is a specialized technique where a single sperm is injected directly into a mature egg’s cytoplasm during in vitro fertilization (IVF). This process helps fertilization occur more efficiently, often achieving higher success rates compared to traditional methods.

Is ICSI Right for You?
ICSI is particularly beneficial for individuals with low sperm count, poor sperm morphology or motility, or those who’ve experienced IVF failure due to poor egg fertilization. It’s also recommended when sperm needs to be surgically retrieved (e.g., due to vasectomy or blockage). Additionally, ICSI can help when using frozen sperm, especially if its quality is compromised. It’s also a preferred choice in genetic testing cases where sperm adhesion to the egg may affect results.
How ICSI Works
At DOREN-GYNAECARE IVF, we utilize high-resolution inverted microscopes during the ICSI process. Our IVF/ICSI specialists carefully select the healthiest sperm and use micromanipulation to inject it into the egg’s cytoplasm. This bypasses the egg’s natural barriers to fertilization, addressing common challenges seen with traditional IVF methods. In traditional IVF, sperm and eggs are combined and incubated overnight, while the embryo is later transferred into the uterus for potential implantation.
Improving IVF Outcomes with ICSI
To maximize IVF success, we focus on retrieving as many mature eggs as possible, as only these can be successfully fertilized. Our state-of-the-art embryology lab ensures optimal sperm and egg selection, significantly boosting the chances of successful fertilization. When IVF is combined with ICSI, fertilization rates improve dramatically, typically achieving 50-80% fertilization.
