Features: The clinical section of this book clarifies some of the problems frequently encountered by physicians and provides readers with current clinical decision-making approaches, including aspects such as ovarian stimulation, oocyte retrieval, embryo transfer, and luteal phase support measures. It offers unique insights into how to handle recurrent implantation failure. Beyond in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer treatment itself, it also considers future reproductive potential preservation, while discussing the feasibility of ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation. The book also introduces the prospects and limitations of cytoplasmic and nuclear reconstruction, as well as updates on the fundamental knowledge of laboratory quality assurance, control, and proficiency assessment necessary to ensure the smooth implementation of these technologies. It includes an important chapter that details the bioethical issues inevitably arising from assisted reproductive practices. The purpose of this book is to open the doors of the laboratory, allowing readers to observe up close through the microscope and participate in the entire decision-making process, from the moment the oocyte enters the laboratory until its final outcome—whether it is transferred, cryopreserved, or selected for discarding.
