Assisted Hatching Treatment in Hyderabad

On your journey to parenthood, every step of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process is carefully considered. Assisted Hatching is an advanced laboratory technique designed to help the embryo implant in the uterus, giving it a better chance to develop into a successful pregnancy.

What is Assisted Hatching?

In the earliest stages of development, an embryo is surrounded by a protective shell called the zona pellucida. For pregnancy to occur, the embryo must break out, or “hatch,” from this shell to attach to the uterine wall.

Assisted Hatching is a delicate procedure where our embryologists use specialized tools to create a tiny opening in this shell. This helps the embryo hatch and may improve its ability to implant successfully.

How Does the Procedure Work?

Using highly precise microscopic instruments, our expert embryologists gently hold the embryo and create a very small opening in its outer shell. This is done either with a safe, carefully controlled solution or a specialized laser. The embryo is then rinsed and prepared for transfer. This procedure is typically performed on embryos that have developed to the blastocyst stage (around day 5-6), which is the ideal time for transfer.

Who Might Benefit from Assisted Hatching?

Assisted Hatching is not recommended for every patient. It is a tool we may suggest in specific situations to improve the chances of implantation, particularly for:


  • Women of advanced maternal age (typically over 38).
  • Couples who have experienced multiple previous unsuccessful IVF cycles.
  • Patients whose embryos have a thicker-than-average outer shell or are of poorer quality.

Your doctor will discuss with you whether this technique could be a beneficial part of your personalized treatment plan.

Potential Benefits and Considerations

Although laparoscopy requires anaesthesia and involves some temporary discomfort during recovery, it is generally very safe with a short recovery period—usually less than a week. Most women return to their normal activities quickly compared to traditional open surgery.

Our experienced surgical team at Kiran Infertility Centre is dedicated to providing you with the most advanced, minimally invasive options for your gynaecological health. We’ll discuss whether laparoscopic surgery is the right approach for your specific situation and ensure you feel completely informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.

Potential Benefits and Considerations

For patients in the groups mentioned above, Assisted Hatching can help improve the embryo’s ability to implant, thereby increasing the chance of a successful pregnancy.

What to Know

As with any delicate procedure, there are considerations. There is a very small risk of damage to the embryo during the process. Additionally, the procedure has been associated with a slightly increased chance of monozygotic (identical) twins.

At our clinic, your care is our highest priority. We are proud that at Kiran Infertility Centre, Dr. Manash Kumar Bhattacharya is recognized as one of the most experienced embryologists in the country for performing this delicate procedure. Our entire team is committed to providing you with the most skilled and precise care, and we are here to ensure you feel confident and supported in your treatment decisions.
