IN VITRO FERTILIZATION (IVF) is the fertilization of an egg by sperm outside the body. Once fertilization has occurred and normal embryo development is confirmed, it is transferred to the uterus. If implantation occurs, the remaining development of the embryo occurs naturally within the mother.
Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM) employs state-of-the-art techniques for sperm preparation, ovarian follicle stimulation, egg retrieval, cryopreservation (embryo freezing), micromanipulation procedures including intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and preimplantation diagnosis.
Micromanipulation, the handling of egg and sperm by microscopic instruments, is used to improve the chances of fertilization in cases with impaired sperm function. ACRM offers the most advanced micromanipulation technique, called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg using a glass micro-needle.
ICSI has revolutionized the treatment of male infertility by overcoming barriers to sperm entry into the egg. Fertilization is possible even in cases with scant sperm orcompromised sperm function. ICSI has largely replaced Partial Zona Dissection (PZD) and Subzonal Insertion (SUZI), the first of the micromanipulation techniques used to treat male factor infertility.
