Laparoscopic ovarian PRP rejuvenation

Until recently, patients with premature menopause or low ovarian reserve had no alternative choice than egg donation. You can read about it in the article Egg donation. How do I make a decision? Now the solution is on the Laparoscopic ovarian PRP rejuvenation.

The injection of PRP into their ovaries has come to give hope and change the landscape of IVF. We recall that the classic PRP method uses the patient’s own blood. We centrifuge the patient’s blood and we isolate the growth factors. Then, we inject this cocktail through the needle we use in oocyte pick-up, into the ovaries. After that, it leads to a short-period but adequate revascularization of the ovarian tissue. This method had and still has relatively good results.

However, the Laparoscopic ovarian PRP rejuvenation does not seem to have the same results in all patients. It is probable that PRP does not manage to reach the ovarian stroma. This happens due to the method of intravaginal infusion under ultrasound monitoring. It is also possible that part of it finishes in the abdomen. It is usual in cases where the ovaries are atrophic (common in premature menopause) and therefore very small. Moreover, when the ovaries are out of position as is the case with patients with a history of endometriosis. We have an article about endometriosis, the silent enemy of fertility, written for you.

The pioneering idea behind the laparoscopic method is that the ovary is initially prepared and exposed with appropriate incisions.They allow PRP to reach precisely and targeted the ovarian circulation. The incisions cause a local activation of the growth factors that prepare the soil for the PRP receptor.

With this method the patient undergoes laparoscopy and general anesthesia. Our experience in the field is enormous and it is a day surgery intervention. As a result, the patient can return home the same night.
