Summary

In the early stages of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), oocyte retrieval was performed via laparoscopy, a cumbersome and expensive process requiring general anesthesia. Today, transvaginal oocyte retrieval for ART is a routine procedure performed under ultrasound guidance. Double-lumen retrieval needles, which are capable of flushing ovarian follicles, were developed to overcome the possibility of oocyte retention within the ovarian follicles and retrieval collection system. Single lumen needles have been introduced and are routinely used by most groups due to their supposed ability to retrieve the same number of oocytes in a shorter operation time.

Conditions

  • Infertility, Female
  • ART

Interventions

DEVICE

Oocyte retrieval with only aspiration system "SL1(Cook® Single Lumen)"

In this intervention a 17-Gauge needle is used to aspirate the follicles

DEVICE

Oocyte retrieval with aspiration and flushing system "DL1 (Cook® EchoTip® Double Lumen)"

In this intervention a 17-Gauge needle is used to aspirate follicle, and consequently a 1 mL flush is injected and aspirated twice for each punctured follicle
