Data Info |
In 2002, KKH’s IVF Centre introduced a new technique - Laser Assisted Hatching - to boost pregnancy rates for couples undergoing in-vitro fertilisation. The ‘hatching’ involves the use of laser to create a small hole in the zona pellucida prior to embryo transfer, thereby enabling the embryo to ‘hatch’ from its eggshell for implantation on the uterine wall. |
