Technical and clinical aspects of ultrasound guided oocyte recovery
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology University of Goteborg, Göteborg, Sweden
In our experience, as well as that of many other IVF groups, transvaginal, ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration is less invasive and comparable to, or better than laparoscopy with regard to the efficiency of oocyte recovery and safety. For these reasons, we believe that ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration will gradually become the method of choice if the only purpose is to retrieve oocytes.
Key words: ultrasound/oocyte recovery
