Fecundación in vitro (FIV)
La fecundación in vitro (FIV) es la unión de un óvulo y un espermatozoide de forma artificial en el laboratorio, con el objetivo de obtener un número de embriones apto para transferir al útero materno y que fertilicen; de esta manera, la mujer quedaría embarazada. Con este procedimiento se pueden solucionar determinados casos de esterilidad, y normalmente se recurre a ella cuando han fallado otras técnicas de reproducción asistida, como la inseminación artificial. La inseminación de los ovocitos puede llevarse a cabo mediante la técnica de FIV tradicional o bien mediante la utilización de la inyección intracitoplasmática de espermatozoides (ICSI), que se usa principalmente cuando hay un factor masculino de esterilidad.
