Assisted hatching on assisted conception (in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI))

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

IVF has become a well-established treatment for certain types of infertility, including long-standing infertility due to tubal disease, endometriosis, unexplained infertility or infertility involving a male factor. Soon it became clear that certain couples with severe male-factor infertility could not be helped by conventional IVF. Extremely low sperm counts, impaired motility and/or abnormal m...

Comparison of clinical outcomes between in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in IVF-ICSI split insemination cycles

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in sibling oocytes. Additionally, we evaluated whether the implementation of split insemination contributed to an increase in the number of ICSI procedures. METHODS A total of 571 cycles in 555 couples undergoing split insemination cycles were included i...

Monochorionic-triamniotic triplet pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injection, assisted hatching, and two-embryo transfer: first reported case following IVF

BACKGROUND: We present a case of monochorionic-triamniotic pregnancy that developed after embryo transfer following in vitro fertilization (IVF). METHODS: After controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and transvaginal retrieval of 22 metaphase II oocytes, fertilization was accomplished with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Assisted embryo hatching was performed, and two embryos were transfe...

New Trends in Assisted Reproduction Techniques: Cryopreservation, In vitro Fertilization, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection and Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

Since that historically the first human birth was registered through in vitro fertilization in 1978, the improvement and creation of new assisted reproduction techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection and physiological intracytoplasmic sperm injection have become of great importance nowadays. Louise Brown was the first baby conceived through in vitro fertilization in England. Since th...
