[Successful outcome of "intracytoplasmic sperm injection" (ICSI) within the scope of in vitro fertilization].
Poor function of spermatozoa accounts for half of all human infertility. "Intracytoplasmic sperm injection" (ICSI) is a new micromanipulatory method for the treatment of male infertility. "ICSI" was performed in cases of oligoasthenozoospermia in 12 IVF cycles, obtaining a fertilisation rate of 71.2% of all micromanipulated oocytes. So far four ongoing pregnancies occurred. Thus "Intracytoplasmic sperm Injection" represents a new encouraging technique to conceive, even in cases of severe male infertility.
