What is laser-assisted hatching?
Laser-assisted hatching is an advanced laboratory procedure used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF). During the early stages of embryonic development, the embryo is encased in a protective shell called the zona pellucida. For successful implantation in the uterus, the embryo must "hatch" out of this shell. In some cases, particularly with older women or those with a history of failed IVF cycles, the zona pellucida can be too thick or tough, impeding the hatching process.
Laser-assisted hatching uses a precision laser to thin or create a small opening in the zona pellucida, facilitating the embryo's release and enhancing the likelihood of successful implantation in the uterine lining.
How does laser hatching work?
1.Embryo Culturing: After eggs are retrieved and fertilized, the resulting embryos are cultured in a laboratory for a few days until they reach the blastocyst stage.
2.Laser Application: A highly focused laser beam is then used to create a small hole or thin the zona pellucida of the embryos.
3.Embryo Transfer: The embryos are carefully monitored before being transferred into the uterus, where the likelihood of implantation is now significantly higher due to the assisted hatching.
Why choose laser hatching?
Enhanced Implantation Rates:
Laser hatching has been shown to improve implantation rates, especially in cases where the zona pellucida is unusually thick or hardened. By aiding the natural hatching process, LAH increases the chances of successful pregnancy.
Beneficial for Specific Patient Groups:
Certain groups benefit more from laser hatching, including:
Women over 35 years of age
Couples with previous failed IVF cycles
cases involving frozen-thawed embryos, where the zona pellucida may have toughened due to the freezing process
Safe and Precise:
The laser technology used at New World Fertility Centre is incredibly precise, minimizing the risk of damage to the embryo. This precision ensures that the hatching process is efficient and safe.
