Details of Laser Assisted Hatching-LAH

Assisted hatching is an assisted reproductive technology that is sometimes used in conjunction with conventional IVF treatment. The theory behind assisted hatching is that it could possibly help with embryo implantation. Usually, this procedure is more likely to be recommended when there has been repeated unexplained IVF failure or for patients with a poor prognosis. Laser-assisted hatching allows much more control of the size of the hole created, more so than mechanical hatching with a needle.
