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 caused by problems with the male partner's sperm. A single sperm is injected directly into an egg using microscopic precision.
ICSI is commonly used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Greece. The overall success rate of IVF with ICSI in Greece is approximately 50%.
