A single sperm cell is injected directly into the cytoplasm of an egg during an in vitro fertilization (IVF) process known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The gametes are prepared using this method in order to obtain embryos that may be transplanted to a mother uterus. This approach avoids the acrosome reaction.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a type of assisted reproductive technology used in fertility treatment. A single sperm is injected directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization.
ICSI is commonly used when standard IVF fails, or the quality of sperm is poor. The success rate varies depending on the age and health of the woman and the cause of infertility.
