Embryology Department
Krishna IVF Clinic, a renowned name in the realm of reproductive medicine, has carved a niche for itself through its state-of-the-art Embryology Department. Since its inception in 1997, the clinic has been a pioneer in the field, achieving several noteworthy milestones including the birth of their first baby through IVF in 1998, the first ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) baby in 1999, the innovative TESE ICSI (Testicular Sperm Extraction ICSI) in 2000, and the introduction of PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) in 2003.
The departmentʼs success is not just measured by these breakthroughs but also by its significant contributions to scientific research and development. Publications such as “Vitrification of human 8-cell embryos, a modified protocol for better pregnancy rates” in Reproductive Biomedicine Online in 2005, demonstrate the clinicʼs dedication to improving IVF outcomes. The research led by Dr. Raju and his team highlights a refined approach to embryo vitrification that has enhanced pregnancy rates, showcasing the clinicʼs commitment to evolving and applying the latest techniques for the benefit of patients.
Another groundbreaking study conducted by the team, published in 2007, also in Reproductive Biomedicine Online, focused on the “Meiotic spindle and zona pellucida characteristics as predictors of embryonic development.” This preliminary study employed PolScope imaging to better understand the factors that could predict successful embryonic development, an innovation that has provided new insights into embryo selection criteria.
In 2009, the Embryology Department made another significant stride with their study “Vitrification of human early cavitating and deflated expanded blastocysts: clinical outcome of 474 cycles,” published in the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics. This extensive work provided crucial data on the clinical outcomes of cycles involving vitrified blastocysts, further cementing Krishna IVFʼs reputation as a leading institution in clinical excellence and embryonic research.
The department’s expertise extends beyond research. It is equipped with advanced technologies like PolScope, which allows for non-invasive visualization of meiotic spindles, aiding in the selection of the most viable oocytes. The introduction of laser-assisted hatching has been another technological advancement, enhancing the implantation rates of embryos by facilitating the hatching process.
Time-lapse embryo monitoring represents the pinnacle of Krishna IVF’s technological armamentarium. This revolutionary technique allows embryologists to observe embryo development continuously, identifying the most promising embryos for transfer based on their morphokinetic behavior. Such innovative monitoring has been associated with improved implantation rates and helps in the selection against embryos with lower chances of successful pregnancy.
Krishna IVF Clinic’s Embryology Department, under the stewardship of its esteemed researchers and clinicians, has not only contributed to the field through scientific inquiry and innovation but has also offered hope to countless families. Its comprehensive approach to fertility treatment, from advanced diagnostic procedures to the latest in embryonic care, embodies the clinicʼs philosophy of providing personalized and compassionate care.
The department’s clinical acumen is matched by its dedication to patient education and support. By offering resources and guidance, the team ensures that patients are well-informed and comfortable throughout their fertility journey. The Embryology Department’s commitment to excellence is reflected in the smiles of parents and the laughter of children it has helped bring into the world.
As the department looks to the future, it remains focused on advancing the field of embryology through continuous research, technological enhancement, and the highest standard of clinical care. With each breakthrough and every successful pregnancy, Krishna IVF Clinic’s Embryology Department reinforces its status as a beacon of innovation and a symbol of hope for those dreaming of parenthood.
