IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) The husband's sperm fertilize the wife's eggs outside the body (in a test tube or culture dish), and the resulting embryos are then returned to her. ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) A single sperm is injected directly into the egg. The development of ICSI has solved most if not all cases of male infertility. Mini-IVF A very unique approach to simplify IVF for patients, reducing the cost associated with more conventional IVF protocols while maintaining comparable success rates. PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis) A single cell from an 8-cell embryo is genetically analyzed in order to determine more accurately if it is normal. |

Preserving Your Fertility An overview of the exciting new technologies to find out where you are on your biological clock and how to beat it, preserving your fertility indefinitely. Ovarian Tissue Freezing A thin cortex of the ovary can be easily extracted and frozen, then re-grafted at a later date, restoring fertility. This is an outpatient procedure. Antral Follicle Counting [video] A brief, painless ultrasound procedure to determine precisely where you are on your biological clock, and how long you can expect your fertility to last naturally. |

MVR (Microscopic Vasectomy Reversal) Under high-powered magnification, the vas deferens is surgically repaired. But restoring fertility to men who have previously undergone vasectomy also requires much more delicate microsurgery to bypass secondary epididymal blockage found in 80% of vasectomized men. Tubal Ligation Reversal For women who have previously undergone tubal ligation, we can also restore their fertility with a small incision and only one day in the hospital. Sperm Aspiration for ICSI Sperm retrieval directly from the testicle or epididymis essentially eliminates male infertility. Success rates for microsurgical procedures depend very much on the skill and expertise of the surgeon who performs them. |
