ICSI is a specialised procedure that takes the sperm from a male partner and is injected into the cytoplasm of an ovum that is collected from the female partner. This procedure is used in cases where the process of fertilization cannot take place naturally. Hence, failure of IVF, asthenospermia and severe oligospermia require ICSI but polyspermia is a case where there are a large number of sperms available and does not require ICSI.
