ICSI (IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection) in Ventus IVF Center
About the clinic
ICSI (IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection) at Ventus IVF Center in Nicosia, Cyprus, is a specialized fertility treatment for couples facing male factor infertility. The center stands out for its CAP-accredited embryology laboratory and ESHRE certification. These international recognitions highlight the high safety standards and quality maintained throughout the fertilization process.
Advanced Fertilization at Ventus IVF
ICSI involves an embryologist injecting one carefully selected sperm into a mature egg. This method helps when sperm count is low or previous fertilization attempts were not successful. The clinic uses a VOC-controlled and HEPA-filtered environment to protect developing embryos. This setup keeps the air clean and stable for the best possible results.
The medical team at Ventus IVF is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Beril Yüksel, who serves as the Clinical Director. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yüksel specializes in reproductive endocrinology and PGT applications. The laboratory operations are managed by Scientific Director Dr. Münevver Serdaroğulları and Laboratory Director Dr. Zafer Atayurt. Together, they oversee clinical embryology standards and micromanipulation techniques.
Laboratory Technology and Safety
The clinic uses several high-tech tools to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy. These technologies help doctors choose the healthiest sperm and monitor embryos without moving them from the incubator. The process includes:
- EmbryoScope+ time-lapse imaging for continuous monitoring of embryo growth.
- AI-assisted assessment to provide data for better sperm and embryo selection.
- Microfluidic sperm preparation to filter the most viable sperm cells.
- Electronic witnessing with chip-based identification to track every sample safely.
The ICSI Process
The procedure starts with assessing the maturity of the eggs. Once the eggs are ready, the team prepares the sperm based on its movement and shape. After the microinjection, specialists check for successful fertilization the next day. The length of a patient's stay in Cyprus varies. It depends on whether the initial monitoring happens at the clinic or with a doctor at home.
Ventus IVF Center maintains a 4.8 rating from patients. The facility also holds ISO 9001 and ISO 15189 certifications for its laboratory services. Patients interested in learning more about personalized fertility plans can leave a request on Bookimed.

Ventus IVF Center: more details about the clinic
Ventus IVF Center is a private fertility clinic established in 2009 in Nicosia, Northern Cyprus. The center focuses on assisted reproductive medicine with a primary emphasis on laboratory quality and specimen safety. It serves patients from the United Kingdom, Turkey, and across Europe.
Accreditations and Clinical Safety Standards
The facility maintains a CAP-accredited embryology laboratory through the College of American Pathologists. This accreditation covers patient identification, specimen labeling, and cryopreservation. The laboratory also adheres to several international standards:
- ISO 9001 for quality management
- ISO 15189 for medical laboratory standards
- ESHRE certification for reproductive medicine
- ISO 14001 for environmental management
- ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety
To protect identity safety, the center uses electronic witnessing and chip-based identification. These systems track gametes and embryos from the culture dish to the transfer catheter. This adds verification at every step to prevent errors.
Reproductive Medicine and IVF Success Rates
The reproductology department creates personalized protocols for IVF, ICSI, and various donation programs. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Beril Yüksel oversees treatment plans. She specializes in reproductive endocrinology and PGT applications. The center reports high success outcomes:
- IVF Treatment: 70% cumulative pregnancy rate and 60% live birth rate
- Egg Donation: 91% cumulative pregnancy rate and 80% live birth rate
- Sperm Donation: 93% cumulative pregnancy rate and 76% live birth rate
- Embryo Donation: 92% cumulative pregnancy rate and 82% live birth rate
Scientific Director Dr. Munevver Serdarogullari co-authored research for ESHRE. Dr. Zafer Atayurt manages laboratory quality and traceability. The team also participates in next-generation research using transcriptomic and genomic data for embryo assessment.
Advanced Laboratory Technologies
The center uses EmbryoScope+ time-lapse imaging for continuous embryo monitoring around the clock. This lets the team record development without removing embryos from the stable incubator. HEPA filtration and strict VOC control systems protect the laboratory environment further.
Specialists use AI-assisted assessment to evaluate oocytes, sperm, and embryos. The AI ranks imaging data, but the physician and embryology team make all final transfer decisions. For sperm preparation, the lab offers microfluidic techniques to select motile sperm when appropriate.
Urology and Male Infertility Services
The urology department addresses complex male factor infertility, including azoospermia (absence of sperm). Diagnostics involve hormone tests, genetic screening for Y-chromosome microdeletions, and scrotal ultrasound. When sperm production is impaired, the center offers several surgical retrieval methods:
- Micro-TESE – microscopic testicular sperm extraction
- TESE – standard testicular sperm extraction
- PESA – percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration
- MESA – microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration
Retrieved sperm can be used for ICSI or frozen for future cycles. The team also assesses modifiable factors such as varicocele (enlarged scrotal veins) and hormonal abnormalities. These findings help determine whether reconstruction or assisted reproduction is the best next step.
Services for International Patients
Ventus IVF Center provides dedicated support for patients traveling to Cyprus for treatment. The international department offers online consultations for preliminary assessments and medical record reviews. Staff coordinate the following logistics:
- Coordination of flights to Ercan International Airport
- Travel and accommodation planning
- Remote monitoring of local ultrasound and blood test results
- Interpretation services in English, Turkish, and Russian
Patients can submit embryo reports or uterine ultrasound results digitally before their trip. After returning home, the clinic continues support through remote follow-up and result reviews. All documentation can be translated into the patient's language upon request.
