Dr. del Pozo tells us about regenerative medicine, embryonic genetics, 3D printing of ovaries and uterus, oocyte vitrification, embryo transfer customization and other advances that are in process or getting closer. We begin with the summary of the presentation of this prestigious specialist in Assisted Reproduction, reminding you that if you are interested in the subject, you can find many more data and the vision of the future of this specialty, in the video of the presentation in Corpus.
Currently, the age range of the public that goes to the reproduction clinics is increasing dramatically and ranges between two age groups: 35 – 40, and 40 – 44.
El Dr. Javier Domingo del Pozo has spoken in his presentation of the importance of ovum life, which is what will guarantee success in a reproduction treatment.
When a patient around her 38 years goes to a reproduction clinic and undergoes treatment, obtains results from a 55 or with a 65% de abnormal embryos According to Dr. Javier Domingo del Pozo if we consider all embryos at a general level in this age range, 75% of embryos are abnormal.
Cycle to cycle this means that Of every 10 menstrual cycles, 7 will not be fertile.
Therefore, when that age range increases, such as that of 43 to 44 years, we are already talking about an abnormality rate between 85 and 95%.
And when transferring embryos, 1 in 10 patients between 38 and 39 will only succeed in implanting their embryo. The rest of the patients will not be able to get it or they will have to go to an egg donation.
The freezing of ovules will make the radical difference between increasing the chances of success in embryonic implantation or having to go to an egg donation.
Nowadays More than 30% of reproductions are made by egg donation. Therefore, ovule preservation techniques are key to the future of assisted reproduction.
The vitrification of oocytes will allow to perform in vitro reproduction treatments much more successful. Although it should be noted that it does not imply 100% of its effectiveness, it does guarantee to have ovules younger and stronger with more possibilities of implantation.
Therefore, it is increasingly common and specialists strongly recommend that it be done before age 36 This translates into being able to perform treatments with the prognosis and genetic statistics of the patients at the age of freezing.
But in addition, the future of assisted reproduction will also be about improve and guarantee embryonic genetic quality. Healthier embryos genetically modified if necessary.
Although we are still far from achieving it, we are working on the regenerative medicine. ¿The objective? Create ovarian rejuvenation processes.
This could be achieved using stem cells, ok to try rejuvenate ovules and sperm or even create them from scratch.
No doubt the future of assisted reproduction is evolving by leaps and bounds and soon we will be able to witness the wonders of science.
To know in depth the vision of the future of this area of medicine, in the voice of an expert in the subject, we invite you to see the entire presentation in CORPUS, of Dr. José Domingo del Pozo, specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Medical Director of IVI Canarias, here
On the horizon, Dr. Del Pozo visualizes topics related to:
- Increased demand for the oocyte vitrification as a fertility preservation technique.
- Use of Test genetic compatibility (for both donors and recipients) and test of endometrial receptivity (for customize embryonic transfers)
- Prolonged In Vitro Crops
- Artificial intelligence in the field of Assisted Reproduction
- Process robotization
- Use of the Regenerative Medicine in areas such as: ovarian rejuvenation, use of stem cells y creation of artificial eggs and sperm
- Creation of artificial ovaries (3D printing), and creation of uterus also artificial.
Without a doubt, you cannot miss this interesting presentation on the future of Assisted Reproduction, in the voice of a medical expert on the subject.
With this event, organized by Canary Doctor and Visible Salud, we seek to understand what our sector holds in the coming years?
An appointment for understand the future of health, help create it, make it tangible and offer solutions.
Be part of the change. CORPUS is, without a doubt, a meeting point to boost the conversation on this subject, seeking to offer, both to professionals in the area and to the general public, a Common place to reflect and connect with the future of health inside and outside the Canary Islands.
We hope you enjoy this presentation, one of the 4 that were presented on November 15, 2019 at the Tenerife Auditorium, within the framework of the 1st edition of CORPUS.
