Transvaginal sonographically controlled ovarian puncture for oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization. 1986

J Cohen, and C Debache, and J P Pez, and A M Junca, and P Cohen-Bacrie

Two hundred twenty-two patients took part in a trial of follicle puncture via the transvaginal route under sonographic control for the purpose of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Induction protocols were mainly human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) + human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and clomiphene + hMC + hCG. In 79.7% oocyte aspiration could be achieved without difficulty via the transvaginal route. An average number of 4.7 oocytes per attempt was obtained; 10.7% evolutive pregnancies were obtained. No major incident was noted. This technique offers several crucial advantages: it reduces surgical risk, reduces the length of the patient's stay in hospital as well as the overall cost of the procedure, and it also makes possible puncture in some cases hitherto regarded as excluded.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D005260 Female Females
D005307 Fertilization in Vitro An assisted reproductive technique that includes the direct handling and manipulation of oocytes and sperm to achieve fertilization in vitro.

D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.
