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's nucleus. Increases chances of successful fertilization and pregnancy.
South Africa has advanced fertility clinics offering ICSI with IVF treatment packages ranging from R65,000 to R150,000 ($4,300-$10,700 USD). Waiting time is typically 1-2 months.
