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.

ICSI is a type of assisted reproductive technology used to treat infertility. In this procedure, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg for fertilization.
First performed in 1992 at the PDKAU St. Poelten clinic in Austria. Success rates vary depending on factors such as age and cause of infertility.
