Pre-Congress Course 2
Perfecting ICSI Techniques and Improving Outcomes (Hands-on workshop)
Date: Thursday, 23 May 2024
Time: 0900 – 1800
Venue: Meeting Room 5, Secretariat Building, PICC
The course aims to comprehensively cover the evolution of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) in assisted reproductive technology. Participants will learn about the setup for ICSI, including micromanipulators, microscopes, automation tools, and robotic systems. Various ICSI techniques, such as IMSI and PICSI will be explored, with a focus on perfecting ICSI skills. Timing considerations during an ICSI cycle and gamete selection criteria will be emphasized. Additionally, participants will discover how Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be implemented to enhance ICSI outcomes and training programs. The workshop will also delve into the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in ICSI, highlighting its role in improving gamete and embryo assessments. Overall, participants will gain practical insights and hands-on experience in the latest advancements shaping the field of ICSI.
This course is organised by the ASPIRE Endometriosis SIG.
