Laser Assisted Hatching in Delhi NCR – Advanced IVF Technique
Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is an advanced procedure performed during IVF treatment in Delhi NCR to improve embryo implantation chances. This technique is especially recommended for couples facing repeated IVF failures or specific fertility challenges.
At Dr. Jyoti Bali IVF Centre, laser assisted hatching is carried out using high-precision laser technology under expert embryologist supervision to ensure embryo safety and optimal outcomes.
What is Assisted Hatching?
Assisted hatching is a laboratory technique used during IVF to help an embryo implant into the uterus. After fertilization, the embryo is surrounded by a protective outer shell called the zona pellucida.
For successful implantation, the embryo must naturally hatch out of this shell. In some cases, the zona becomes too thick or rigid, making implantation difficult. Assisted hatching gently weakens this outer layer, improving the chances of embryo attachment to the uterine lining.
Methods of Assisted Hatching
There are three main techniques used in assisted hatching:
Laser Assisted Hatching
Acid Tyrode’s Solution
Partial Zona Dissection (PZD)
Note: Assisted hatching is performed just before embryo transfer. While the goal of all methods is the same, laser assisted hatching is the most precise and safest technique.
Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH)
Laser Assisted Hatching is the most advanced and preferred method of assisted hatching used in modern IVF labs.
- A specialized laser system allows precise control over position, intensity, and depth
- The thickness of the zona pellucida is assessed before applying the laser
- The procedure is usually performed on Day 3 embryos while they are still in the laboratory
- The laser creates a tiny opening in the zona pellucida using 2–3 controlled pulses
- The embryo is then returned to the incubator until embryo transfer
- The laser does not touch the embryo directly, ensuring maximum safety
Laser assisted hatching in Delhi NCR is considered highly effective and embryo-safe when performed by experienced fertility specialists.
Indications for Laser Assisted Hatching
Laser assisted hatching may be recommended in the following cases:
- Two or more failed IVF cycles
- Advanced maternal age
- Poor embryo quality
- Elevated FSH levels
- Unexplained infertility
- Thick zona pellucida observed during IVF
Risks Associated with Laser Assisted Hatching
The risks of LAH are similar to those associated with IVF and ICSI procedures. Since the natural hatching process is assisted, some potential risks include:
- Incomplete embryo hatching
- Rare chance of embryo damage
- Slightly increased risk of monozygotic (identical) twins
Monozygotic twin pregnancies may carry higher risks for both mother and baby.
All procedures are performed under the supervision of Dr. Jyoti Bali, an experienced IVF specialist in Delhi NCR, to minimize risks and ensure patient safety.
