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 by injecting a single sperm directly into an egg. This increases the chances of fertilization.
Belgium's healthcare system is universal and publicly funded, making ICSI widely accessible with reasonable costs. The average waiting time is around 1-2 months.
