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 in vitro fertilization (IVF) where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. This treatment increases the chances of fertilization in couples with male infertility issues.
ICSI is widely used in Egypt and success rates are comparable to developed countries. The cost ranges from EGP 15,000 to 20,000 for one cycle including medications and monitoring.
