Rescue in  vitro maturation and the transfer of a euploid blastocyst provided improved chances for patients with poor prognosis to conceive
Rescue in  vitro maturation (rescue-IVM) of immature oocytes in stimulation cycles may generate additional embryos for transfer and increase the chances of pregnancy for patients with a poor prognosis. However, the cytoplasmic maturation of rescue-IVM oocytes may be compromised, increasing the chance of meio tic defects and miscarriage. Therefore, the safety of performing rescue-IVM is questionable (1). Recent retrospective cohort studies have shown that oocytes from rescue-IVM had lower fertilization, blastocyst formation, and euploid rates, compared with their sibling metaphase II (MII) oocytes from t he same individual...

“Primary omental pregnancy after in vitro fertilization complicated by hemoperitoneum—how to manage it laparoscopically”
To report an uncommon case of primary OP treated laparoscopically. Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the leading cause of maternal mortality during the first trimester and the incidence increases with assisted reproductive techniques, occurring in approximately 1.5% –2.1% of patients undergoing in vitro fertilization.1 Omental pregnancy (OP) is an extremely rare form of EP accounting for less than 1% of all EPs. OP can be classified as primary or secondary on the basis of Studdiford’s criteria2. The preoperative diagnosis of OP is complex and usually occur in acute circumstances during a throughout intraoperative evaluation o...

Ectopic pregnancy(EC) is the leading cause of maternal mortality during the first trimester and the incidence increases with assisted reproductive techniques, occurring in approximately 1.5 –2.1% of patients undergoing in-vitro-fertilization(IVF).1 Omental pregnancy(OP) is an extremely rare form of EC accounting for less than 1% of all ECs. OP can be classified as primary or secondary based on Studdiford's criteria2. The preoperative diagnosis of OP is complex and usually occur in ac ute circumstances during a throughout intraoperative evaluation of the abdomen. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)
