USG Guided Ovum Pickup

USG guided ovum pick-up (OPU), also known as transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval, is a minimally invasive technique used to retrieve oocytes (eggs) from a woman's ovaries under ultrasound guidance for procedures like in vitro fertilization (IVF). 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• What it is:

  OPU involves using a needle, guided by ultrasound imaging, to aspirate oocytes (eggs) from the follicles (small fluid-filled sacs) on the ovaries. 

• How it's done:

  • The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia or sedation. 
  • A transvaginal ultrasound probe is inserted into the vagina to visualize the ovaries and follicles. 
  • A needle, connected to a suction pump, is guided through the vaginal wall and into the follicles to aspirate the oocytes. 
  • The collected oocytes are then processed in a laboratory for fertilization. 

• Why it's used:

  OPU is a crucial step in IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). 

• Benefits:

  • Minimally invasive. 
  • Can be repeated in the same animal without affecting reproductive health. 
  • Allows for the retrieval of oocytes regardless of the donor's reproductive status. 

• Complications:

  • Bleeding 
  • Abdominal pain 
  • Infection 
  • Injury of other organs 
  • Adhesions 
  • Anesthetic complications 
  • Failure of the egg collection procedure
