Overview

A step by step guide to the practical management of protocols in clinical embryology and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Beginning with an introduction to setting up an ART centre and selecting patients for In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), the text then discusses the various procedures and protocols, and their advantages and disadvantages. The final chapters discuss the role of ultrasound, as well as ethical and legal issues associated with ART. More than 250 colour images and illustrations assist understanding, along with an ancillary DVD showing procedures related to ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), Ovum pick up, laboratory protocols, PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration); as well as demonstrating different techniques for gamete freezing and embryo transfer and reduction.
