Laparoscopy

Blastocyst Culture and Transfer

What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure commonly used to visualise and examine organs inside the abdomen and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin. This procedure is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery. It is a small invasive procedure with fewer side effects, lower risks, and a shorter recovery time.

Overview 

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat infertility-related issues. At AROGYAM IVF, our expert team utilizes laparoscopy to visualize the reproductive organs and identify potential causes of infertility.

​

The procedure involves making 3-5 minor incisions in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a video camera) and small surgical instruments are inserted. This allows our surgeons to examine the reproductive organs, take biopsies, and treat conditions such as endometriosis, scar tissue, and cysts.

​

Laparoscopy is typically recommended when other fertility tests are inconclusive or when surgical treatment is necessary. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring you understand the benefits and risks associated with laparoscopy.

​

By choosing AROGYAM IVF for your laparoscopy procedure, you can expect:​

  • Minimally invasive surgery with fewer side effects

  • Accurate diagnosis and treatment of infertility-related issues

Why Laparoscopy is Done?

​Laparoscopy is performed for various reasons, including:​​

  1. Diagnosing unexplained infertility when all other fertility tests are normal

​

Identifying underlying causes of infertility, such as:​

  • Blocked fallopian tubes

  • Hydrosalpinx

  • Scar tissue build-up

  • Adhesions

  • Endometriosis

  • Fibroids

  • Ovarian cysts

  • Other anatomical abnormalities of the reproductive system

​

​Our expert team uses laparoscopy not only to diagnose but also to treat conditions that affect fertility, increasing the chances of natural conception and improving IVF success rates.

Surgery Procedure 

​At AROGYAM IVF, our expert surgeons perform laparoscopy surgery under general anesthesia. Here's an overview of the procedure:​

  1. Administration of general anesthesia

  4. Additional incisions may be made to perform surgical corrections, if necessary

  5. Removal of instruments and closure of incision sites

​

Post-Procedure Care:​

  • Observation for a few hours to monitor for complications

Do’s and Don’ts 

  • Stage 1: Birth Control Pills or Oestrogen
    Your doctor may recommend oestrogen or birth control tablets before you begin IVF therapy. This is used to regulate the time of your menstrual cycle and prevent the growth of ovarian cysts. It enables your doctor to manage your treatment and increase the number of mature eggs collected during the egg retrieval operation.
  • Stage 2: Ovarian Stimulation
    In a normal woman, each menstrual cycle results in the production of one egg. However, several eggs are necessary for IVF. The likelihood of creating a healthy embryo improves when more than one egg is used. To boost your body's egg production, you'll be given fertility medications. You'll be prescribed injectable hormone medications during your IVF cycle to encourage all of the eggs in that cycle to develop at once and completely.
  • Stage 3: Ultrasound Examination
    To evaluate how well the medications on your ovaries are working, a vaginal ultrasound test is performed at regular intervals. If the outcome is bad, it's possible that your doctor will suggest stopping the IVF treatment cycle. You and your doctor will decide together on this.
  • Stage 4: Egg Retrieval
    The egg retrieval procedure is carried out 36 hours following your hormone IVF injections given for stimulation. Transvaginal sonography is used to help retrieve eggs from the ovaries while the patient is under general anesthesia. Your reaction to the medications will determine how many eggs are collected, and the operation lasts 15 to 30 minutes. Around two to three hours following the treatment, you can leave for home. Sometimes there may be some stomach pain and vaginal spotting, but these symptoms usually go away in a day or two.
  • Stage 5: Sperm Collection
    A sample of semen is required from your spouse. On the day the eggs are harvested, a sample of fresh semen is often taken. A previously frozen sample can also be used, though, if a fresh sample can't be made on the same day or if the spouse isn't there on the day, the eggs are collected. The sperm and the eggs will be combined by a technician in a petri dish. If it fails to result in embryos, your doctor can choose to perform ICSI.
  • Stage 6: Fertilizing the Eggs
    The eggs will be fertilized in the laboratory, either through ICSI or traditional IVF. The embryologist will check the eggs the following day to see whether they have been fertilized and then later to see if any embryos have developed further. It is possible to freeze additional well-developed embryos if there are more than three for eventual later transfer.
  • Stage 7: Embryo Culture
    The fertilized eggs (embryos) are nurtured in a controlled environment, allowing them to grow and develop.
  • Stage 8: Embryo Transfer
    This is done two, three, or five days following egg harvest. To decide if a day 3 or day 5 transfer is necessary, embryologists keep an eye on the development and viability of the embryos. The embryo is positioned in your uterus using a tiny catheter that is implanted. It takes between six and ten days for the implantation to take place if the operation is successful. A course of medicines to assist the luteal phase will be provided to you after the transfer.
  • Stage 9: Pregnancy Test
    A pregnancy blood test is carried out after two weeks following extraction. In the event that the test is positive, the patient is thought to be four weeks pregnant.
