IVF Laser Assisted Hatching
What is Laser Assisted Hatching?
An assisted reproductive technique called laser hatching uses traditional IVF therapy. According to the concept underlying assisted hatching, it could facilitate embryo implantation. This technique is suggested to individuals who have a poor prognosis or who have experienced repeat, unexplained IVF failure. Compared to mechanical hatching using a needle, laser-assisted hatching gives the user far more control over the size of the hole that is made.
Laser-Assisted Hatching Procedure
On the third day of in-vitro development, while the embryo is at the cleavage stage, the outer shell of the embryo is destroyed by directing a few laser pulses away from the embryo’s cells, leaving just the shell intact. Zona pellucida refers to the aperture created when the embryo’s outer shell brokes. The shell-breaking process is accelerated by simultaneous acid digestion. Once this gap forms, it aids in the embryo’s shell-breaking and aids in implantation.
When is Laser Assisted Hatching recommended?
The following are the most typical reasons for recommending the laser-assisted hatching procedure:
- Embryos of poor quality or sluggish development
- Maternal age beyond 37 years
- A thick or unusual eggshell
- Excessive fragmentation in embryos
- Patients with at least two prior unsuccessful IVF cycles
What are the advantages of laser-assisted hatching?
- Due to several benefits, laser-assisted hatching demonstrates to be superior to chemical and manual-assisted hatching.
- A minimum amount of embryo handling
- It is soft and secure, and it has no detrimental impact on the embryo.
- Several options are available to patients, and each provides clinical counselling depending on your situation.
