Laser Assisted Hatching

What is Laser Assisted Hatching
At Imprimis IVF, we understand that In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can be a complex and overwhelming process. As the best IVF center in Srinagar, now expanding to Bhubaneswar, we want to educate our patients on the various aspects of IVF, including Laser Assisted Hatching.
Laser Assisted Hatching is an innovative IVF technique designed to enhance pregnancy success rates. During the procedure, a specialized laser is used to carefully create a small opening in the zona pellucida, the outer layer surrounding the embryo.
Why is Laser Assisted Hatching Done?
Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is a technique used in IVF to improve the chances of pregnancy. A laser is carefully used to create a small opening in the zona pellucida, the protective outer layer surrounding the embryo.
Reasons for Laser-Assisted Hatching
- Improved Implantation Rates: LAH improves the chances of embryo implantation by assisting the embryo in breaking free from its outer shell and attaching to the uterine lining with greater ease.
- Increased Pregnancy Rates: Studies have shown that LAH can increase pregnancy rates, especially in women with previous failed IVF cycles.
- Reduced Risk of Multiple Pregnancies: By transferring a single embryo with LAH, the risk of multiple pregnancies is reduced.
- Improved Embryo Selection: LAH can help in selecting the best-quality embryo for transfer.
- Increased Success Rates in Women with Poor Ovarian Reserve: LAH can improve success rates in women with poor ovarian reserve.
Who Can Benefit from Laser-Assisted Hatching?
- Women with Previous Failed IVF Cycles: Women who have had previous failed IVF cycles may benefit from LAH.
- Women with Poor Ovarian Reserve: Women with poor ovarian reserve may benefit from LAH.
- Women with Advanced Maternal Age: Women with advanced maternal age may benefit from LAH.
- Women with Thick Zona Pellucida: Women with thick zona pellucida may benefit from LAH.
What is the Procedure for Laser Assisted Hatching?
At Imprimis IVF, we understand that In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can be a complex and overwhelming process. As the best IVF center in Srinagar, now expanding to Bhubaneswar, we want to educate our patients on the various aspects of IVF, including Laser Assisted Hatching.
Step 1: Embryo Selection
The procedure begins with the selection of the best-quality embryo for Laser Assisted Hatching. Our team of experienced embryologists carefully evaluates the embryos to determine which one is most suitable for the procedure.
Step 2: Preparation of the Embryo
Once the embryo is selected, it is prepared for the Laser Assisted Hatching procedure. This involves washing the embryo in a special medium to remove any debris or contaminants.
Step 3: Laser Application
The embryo is then placed under a microscope, and a laser is applied to the zona pellucida (the outer layer of the embryo). The laser-assisted hatching process involves the creation of a precise opening in the zona pellucida, thereby facilitating the escape and implantation of the embryo into the uterine lining.
Step 4: Embryo Transfer
Following the Laser Assisted Hatching procedure, the embryo is carefully transferred into the woman’s uterus. This is typically done using a catheter, a thin tube that is inserted through the cervix and into the uterus. The catheter is used to gently place the embryo in the optimal position for implantation.
Step 5: Follow-up
After the embryo transfer, the patient will need to follow up with their IVF specialist to confirm the success of the procedure. This typically involves a pregnancy test and an ultrasound to confirm the presence of a fetal heartbeat.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
– A mild sedative to help them relax
– During the procedure, a speculum is carefully placed into the vagina. This helps to gently open the vaginal walls, giving your healthcare provider a clear view and allowing them to perform the examination comfortably.
– A catheter to be inserted through the cervix and into the uterus
– A mild cramping sensation during the procedure
– We recommend a follow-up appointment to ensure the treatment is progressing as expected.
