With advanced treatment modalities, infertility can be successfully treated.

Procedures of Infertility
ICSI + Testiculor Biopsy
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the medical procedure that involves injecting a sperm directly into the egg. The procedure is often used as a part of in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Testicular biopsy involves retrieval of sperm for IVF-ICSI.
In vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF involves the fertilization of the egg outside the body. The procedure involves removal of egg from the ovaries and mixing them with sperm in a laboratory dish. Then, the embryo is transferred into the uterus.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI is involves insertion of the sperm into the uterus during ovulation. This procedure is intended to increase the number of sperms that meet the ovum by traveling through the fallopian tubules increasing the chances of fertilization.
IVF / ICSI + Donor sperms
In certain cases where the couple’s gametes cannot be used for IVF/ICSI, then the donated sperm can fulfill the dream of the parenthood. The procedure involves injecting a donated sperm into an egg.
IVF + ICSI
IVF with intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the procedure that involves the use of specialized micromanipulation tools and equipment. It uses inverted microscopes which makes the embryologists to select the individual sperm with special ICSI needle.
IVF + ICSI with Optical Spindle view
Usually, in-vitro fertilization procedure involves injecting a sperm into an egg directly (ICSI). Optical spindle view offers an effective and safe transfer of sperm into an egg using a special device.
IVF with Egg Donation
The donated eggs are fertilized with male gamete (sperm) using in-vitro fertilization or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. Then the developed embryos are transferred into the uterus. This procedure is used if the female partner has diminished ovarian reserve.
IVF with Laser Assisted Hatching
Laser assisted hatching is the procedure that helps the embryo hatch from the protective shell and promotes the implantation in the wall of the uterus after the embryo transfer. This procedure can overcome the failure of the embryo to implant them in the uterine wall.
