Abstract

In spite of the progress in in vitro fertilization (IVF), implantation rate of IVF embryos remains low. Many factors seem to be involved in these results. Among them, impairment of the hatching process was incriminated by some authors. Assisted hatching seems to be an interesting method for repeated failures of IVF.
