Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)
A complex ART, IVF involves retrieval of eggs from female and sperm from male, egg fertilisation, embryo incubation, and embryo transfer.
Laparoscopy Surgery
ICSI is used to optimise the success rates of patients with male-factor infertility leading to low sperm count. It involves injecting a single sperm into an egg under a microscope using an extremely thin needle.
In Vitro Fertilisation-Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (IVF-ICSI) 
Semen analysis is a diagnostic test that helps in evaluating the quantity and quality of sperm in a male’s semen sample. The result of this test guides the treatment process.
Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (PICSI)
