Clinic of Reproductive and Prenatal Medicine

An embryologist is a key specialist in the IVF laboratory, whose skill largely determines the success of infertility treatment. He works with biological materials at the most important stage: from assessing the quality of germ cells to creating and developing embryos in the laboratory. Its tasks include carrying out fertilization by IVF or ICSI methods, monitoring the development of embryos, performing complex microsurgical manipulations and cryopreservation of biomaterials. The EMC Embryology laboratory is headed by certified specialists with international experience, using state-of-the-art equipment to achieve maximum results in infertility treatment.

EMC has developed a special fertility preservation program for patients with cancer who will undergo chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Before starting cancer treatment, the clinic offers cryopreservation of biological material (sperm, eggs, embryos or ovarian tissue), which can be stored in a cryobank indefinitely. After achieving remission, patients have the opportunity to become parents of genetically related children through IVF or surrogacy programs.

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A)This is a modern method of examining embryos for chromosomal rearrangements before they are transferred to the uterine cavity during IVF. During the procedure, embryologists take several cells from the embryo shell (trophectoderm) at the blastocyst stage and perform their genetic analysis, which allows them to identify chromosomal abnormalities (PGT-a), monogenic diseases (PGT-M) and translocations (VILLAGE-SP). The main advantage of HRT is that it makes it possible to select an embryo without chromosomal rearrangements even before pregnancy, which increases the chances of having a healthy child in the older age group and reduces the risk of termination of pregnancy. In low-quality embryos, noninvasive PHT can be performed. Trophectoderm cells may not be enough in such embryos for biopsy and may be of interest for further implantation. Embryologists can examine the environment in which the embryo developed, rather than the cells of the embryo itself.

You can undergo a full cycle of infertility treatment at EMC. We offer all modern methods: surgical treatment (laparoscopy and hysteroscopy), controlled ovulation induction, artificial insemination and IVF. For male infertility, we offer both medical and surgical treatment, as well as assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF with ICSI. We have our own bank of donor materials and the possibility of organizing a surrogacy program.

In the EMC clinic, infertility diagnosis begins with a comprehensive examination of both partners, as very often the cause of infertility is not the only one, but is the result of several disorders in both partners. Diagnosis of the cause of infertility and determination of treatment tactics begins with a detailed conversation with a doctor, an analysis of the entire previous medical history, and an examination of the woman. Only after that, the doctor determines the plan of examination and infertility treatment, justifies each prescribed analysis or study. Therefore, it will be a completely individual step-by-step plan for each couple, which will be adjusted with the receipt of information about the health of patients. The clinic is equipped with modern equipment that meets international standards, and all studies are conducted by experienced specialists in accordance with current diagnostic protocols.

The EMC Cryobank is a department of the Clinic of Reproductive and Prenatal Medicine, where the donor biomaterial of the highest quality is stored in optimal conditions. We are approached not only by patients who want to solve the problem of infertility with artificial insemination, but also by clinics that do not have their own donor base.
