A
test tube baby was born
in the Indian Capital
on January 5th 1998 using
the sperm injection technique
by doctors at the Delhi
IVF and Fertility Research
Centre. The technique,
known as Intra Cytoplasmic
Sperm Injection (ICSI)
involves aspirating single
healthy sperm from the
testis of the male and
the ovum from female,
and then fertilizing both
outside in the test tube
before putting it back
in the womb. This technique
is useful in male infertility
cases where the sperm
count is so low/ or absent
(but the sperms are produced
inside the testis, testicular
dysfunction) that the
conventional IVF is also
not useful to them. |
