Assisted Laser Hatching in Mumbai

A leading fertility clinic in Malad, Mumbai dedicated to helping couples realize their dream of parenthood through advanced assisted laser hatching and compassionate care.

What is Assisted Laser Hatching?

In some cases, after ICSI the embryos that develop often have a thick cell wall. This can interfere with the process of implantation as it impedes a process called hatching in the embryos. In order to prevent this from happening, small holes need to be drilled in the cell wall of the embryos with the help of a laser. This makes the cell wall adequately thin and allows hatching to take place appropriately. This improves the chances of implantation in the patient. However it is interesting to note that only a minority of patients undergoing ivf or icsi treatment require assisted laser hatching. Empirically doing a laser hatching for all patients can be detrimental rather than beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear your most common doubts regarding assisted laser hatching treatment, cost and more.

What is laser-assisted hatching?

Laser-assisted hatching is a technique used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) to facilitate the embryo’s implantation into the uterine lining. It involves using a precise laser to create a small opening in the zona pellucida, the outer layer of the embryo.

Why is laser-assisted hatching performed?

 This procedure is typically performed to enhance the chances of implantation for embryos that may have a thick zona pellucida or those that have undergone cryopreservation, which can sometimes affect their ability to hatch naturally.

Who can benefit from laser-assisted hatching?

 Laser-assisted hatching may benefit individuals or couples with a history of failed implantation attempts, older women with a reduced egg quality, or embryos that have difficulty hatching on their own.

How is laser-assisted hatching performed?

The procedure is conducted in a laboratory setting, where a skilled embryologist uses a laser to create a small opening in the zona pellucida of the embryo before it is transferred to the uterus.

Is laser-assisted hatching safe?

Yes, laser-assisted hatching is considered safe and is a non-invasive procedure. It is performed by trained specialists to minimize any risks to the embryo.

How does laser-assisted hatching affect success rates?

While individual results may vary, studies suggest that laser-assisted hatching can improve implantation rates, particularly for certain groups of patients. However, it is one of many factors that contribute to overall success.

Will I need to undergo any specific tests before laser-assisted hatching?

 Before undergoing laser-assisted hatching, a fertility specialist will conduct a thorough evaluation, including hormone tests and embryo quality assessment, to determine if this procedure is appropriate for your situation.

How does laser-assisted hatching fit into the IVF process?

Laser-assisted hatching is typically performed just before the embryo transfer during an IVF cycle, after the embryos have been cultured for several days.

Are there any risks associated with laser-assisted hatching?

The procedure is generally low-risk, but as with any medical intervention, there may be minimal risks involved, such as potential damage to the embryo if not performed correctly. This is why it’s essential to have it done by experienced professionals.

How can I find out if laser-assisted hatching is right for me?

Consult with a fertility specialist who can assess your individual circumstances, discuss your treatment options, and determine if laser-assisted hatching could enhance your chances of successful conception.
