Aspiration of cytoplasmic fragments
What is it?
It is a new technique in assisted reproduction that consists of eliminating the cell fragments that impede the correct evolution of the embryo. The embryos with an excessive fragmentation have lower rates of establishment, possibly due to the fact that the fragments can affect the compression, and consequently the formation of the blastocyst. The technique consists of making a little hole in the zona pellucida and through the hole to suck the maximum number of cell fragments that could turn out to be harmful.
