What Is Laser Assisted Hatching & How Does it Work?
Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is an emerging fertility procedure that aids embryo implantation process in an IVF procedure, increasing the probability of pregnancy in the couple. In this process, a small hole is created in the outer shell of the embryo (called the zona pellucida), using a specialised laser. This process enables the embryo to break out of its shell and attach itself to the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus, during the IVF treatment, thus improving the chances of pregnancy. The primary goal of the LAH treatment is to improve the chances of successful embryo implantation in the uterine lining as part of the IVF procedure. LAH is not a common practice for all those undergoing IVF procedures. Fertility experts recommend it for those who have had a history of unsuccessful embryo implantation or those with other reproductive complications.
