What is Laser-Assisted Hatching ?
Laser-Assisted Hatching is a specialized technique used in certain assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves the use of a laser to create a small opening or thinning in the outer shell (zona pellucida) of the embryo before it is transferred into the uterus. This technique is aimed at facilitating the embryo’s ability to hatch from its protective shell, improving the chances of successful implantation in the uterus.
Conditions Treated with Laser-Assisted Hatching
Laser-Assisted Hatching may be recommended in the following cases:
- Advanced Maternal Age: For women of advanced reproductive age, where the zona pellucida may become thicker, making it harder for the embryo to hatch.
- Previous IVF Failures: In situations where previous IVF cycles have not resulted in successful implantation.
- Embryo Quality Concerns: For embryos with a thicker or more rigid zona pellucida that may hinder hatching.
Process of Laser-Assisted Hatching Treatment
- Embryo Culturing: Following fertilization through IVF, embryos are cultured in the laboratory until they reach a specific developmental stage.
- Laser Application: A specialized laser is used to create a small opening or thinning in the zona pellucida of the embryo.
- Assessment and Selection: Embryos that have undergone laser-assisted hatching are carefully assessed, and the best-quality embryos are selected for transfer.
- Embryo Transfer: The selected embryos are then transferred into the uterus during an IVF cycle, with the goal of improving the likelihood of successful implantation.
- Post-Transfer Monitoring: The patient is monitored post-transfer to assess for signs of successful implantation and early pregnancy.
