Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) has been the greatest boon to Male Factor Infertility which does not respond to conventional management. With this technique, men with severe oligo or asthenosoospermia can still own their child without taking resort to a semen bank. In ICSI eggs are retrieved (as in IVF) from female partner and under an inverted microscope each one is injected with single sperm isolated from the male partner's semen sample.

Opportunities and Success
