Laser Assisted Hatching – Procedure,

Advantages and Cost of LAH


What is Laser-Assisted
Hatching?
Advancements in science and technology have
greatly improved people’s lives. Technology has
helped us in every segment, from work to the
production of goods and even reproduction.
Laser-assisted Hatching is one technological
advancement that has been around for a long
time. It can be considered one of the
technological gifts for women of older age.

Laser Assisted Hatching is a technique used in In-


Vitro Fertilization. This technique helps to improve
the implantation of embryos into a woman’s
uterine lining.
Procedure of Laser-Assisted Hatching
This procedure is performed in a lab. Here, the laser beam is used to hatch the outer shell to facilitate embryo
implantation. For this purpose, a circle of the coloured beam of light is fixed. This circle locates the point where the
laser will fire. This laser beam is invisible; we can only see its effects.

A laser beam issues energy into the embryo shell and dissolves it. The laser is pulsated three times to
create a whole gap in the shell.

However, this particular technique may vary based on the power settings, method, and spot size.

For a successful pregnancy, this Hatching is performed without affecting the embryo.
When Laser Assisted Hatching is Recommended?
Patients who are more than 37 years
Patients having Frozen Embryo Replacement (FER)
Patients who have faced a failed IVF or ICSI treatment
Those who are going for IVF/ ICSI for the first time. They are considered poor responders because
they require a high dose of It is a kind of infertility drug for a poor ovarian response.
Those with poor quality and quantity of embryos
Those who have had a low fertilization rate in earlier IVF cycle
Couples going for IVF treatment with embryos that have a thick outer shell called zona pellucida
Advantages of Laser Assisted Hatching
In this treatment, only a fewer embryos are required to be transferred
Assisted Hatching can Increase the implantation success rates
It allows for blastocyst culture
Reduces the chance of multiple pregnancies
Other Assisted Hatching Methods
Mechanical Hatching: There is a risk of controlling the size of the opening (zona pellucida) with this
technique. As an embryologist keeps the embryo steady with the help of a pipette while puncturing the
zona pellucida using a micro-needle. (Imagining a very thin line alongside the embryo).

Mechanical Expansion of the Shell: Through this technique, hydrostatic pressure is presented just under
the shell, making it expand. This method’s idea comes from the normal expansion of the outer shell
throughout the hatching process.
Other Assisted Hatching Methods
Chemical Hatching: A chemical known as Tyrode’s acid is used in this treatment while treating the
patient. A small amount of Tyrode’s acid is applied to the zona pellucida until the shell is breached.

Drilling: In this technique, vibrations are created for a conical opening. This technique uses another
technology called Piezo technology.
Success Rate of Laser Assisted Hatching
One of the foremost questions is asking about the success rate. The success rate, in this case, is how
many couples have come along with a baby in their hand after the treatment.

The success rate of IVF along with laser-assisted hatching increases by up to 50%. A Cochrane review
considering a collection of 31 studies have found hatching process has improved the clinical
pregnancy rates.

Conclusion
Laser Assisted Hatching is a technique used in In-Vitro Fertilization. This technique helps to improve the
implantation of embryos into a woman’s uterine lining.
