How old can test tube baby ascites be transplanted?
IVF is an embryo cultivated in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization technology. After a period of cultivation, IVF can be transplanted into the mother's uterus to continue its development. However, if IVF suffers from ascites and other diseases, the time of transplantation needs to be more careful. The following will discuss the related issues of IVF ascites transplantation from various aspects.
Ascites and test tube babies
Ascites refers to fluid or gas accumulation in the abdominal cavity of the fetus, which may be caused by diseases before or after the birth of the fetus. In the process of IVF, if the embryo is found to have ascites, it may be a manifestation of congenital abnormalities or developmental abnormalities. Common diseases include congenital heart disease, abnormal closure of thoracic and abdominal cavity, etc. For different diseases, the timing of transplantation will be different.
First, for serious diseases such as congenital heart disease, we need to wait for the embryo to grow to a certain extent, because there will be certain risks in the process of transplantation. We need to wait for the embryo to grow strong enough to improve the success rate of transplantation. Generally speaking, at 8-12 weeks of gestation, the heart of the fetus has formed and started to beat, so it is appropriate to carry out transplantation at this time.
Secondly, we need to be more cautious about fetal ascites problems such as abnormal closure tube of thorax and abdomen. This disease may affect the development of fetal abdominal organs, and even lead to organ dysfunction. The doctor will decide whether it is suitable for transplantation according to the specific situation of fetal abdominal cavity disease. Generally speaking, for minor diseases such as abdominal duct cyst, transplantation can be carried out at 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. For serious ascites problems, doctors may suggest to terminate the transplantation and wait for the fetus to get better before considering transplantation. This also needs to be determined according to the specific conditions of the disease.
Hospital research on test tube infant ascites transplantation
At present, some hospitals at home and abroad have made some progress in the research of IVF ascites transplantation. For example, the obstetrics and gynecology department of a well-known hospital in China has accumulated rich experience in solving the problem of ascites, and has successfully carried out many test tube baby ascites transplantation operations. Through strict preoperative evaluation and surgical operation, the survival rate of IVF was effectively improved.
In addition, there are also some professional teams in the world who have made a lot of efforts in IVF ascites transplantation. For example, a children's hospital in the United States used advanced laparoscopic technology to study and treat the abdominal problems of test tube babies, and achieved certain results. A large general hospital in Sweden has also made a breakthrough in the field of test tube baby ascites transplantation. Through multidisciplinary cooperation, it has provided a better treatment scheme for test tube babies with ascites.
Risk and precautions of test tube infant ascites transplantation
Test tube baby ascites transplantation is a complicated operation, which requires professional doctors and advanced medical equipment. Improper timing of transplantation may increase the risk of pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, comprehensive inspection and evaluation are required before transplantation to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
In the process of transplantation, doctors need to select appropriate surgical methods and treatment schemes according to the specific conditions of the disease. After the operation, it is also necessary to closely monitor the status of pregnant women and fetuses, and deal with complications in time to ensure the success and smooth progress of transplantation.
Summary
The specific time of IVF ascites transplantation depends on the type and severity of fetal disease. For minor diseases, transplants are usually performed at 8-12 weeks of gestation; For serious ascites problems, the transplantation may need to be terminated and considered after the fetus gets better. The hospital has also made some progress in the research of test tube baby ascites transplantation, providing a better treatment scheme for test tube babies with ascites. However, there are still some risks and precautions in IVF ascites transplantation, and professional doctors and equipment are needed to ensure the success of the operation and the safety of pregnant women and fetuses.
