If my sperm count is zero but I have obtained few sperms with a testicular biopsy, what are my chances of success with ICSI?

As explained earlier, a single sperm per egg retrieved is enough, so there is no need for it to have an excellent quality. This is the reason why obtaining viable embryos is possible by removing the sperms directly from the testis.
