How we began ?

“Don’t aim at success-the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue….as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a course greater than oneself”    

                                           -Viktor Frankl (Man’s search for meaning)

Thus was born the Fertility Research Center…as a side effect of Dr.
Kamala’s unstinted, dedicated hard work. Her basic need to fulfill the dreams of the unfulfilled, coupled with a thirst to acquire the latest knowledge in her chosen field, enabled her to start the ART Laboratory at G.G.Hospital in 1986. An account of her memoirs has been published which serves as an invaluable guide providing
encouragement to beginners in the field of ART.

The initial struggle involved a number of overseas visits to other
pioneering institutes, observation of their standards of work, quality control, results and last but not the least the two most important determinants of outcome-culture medium and equipment.

As   commercial   media   was   not   freely   available   at the time and   proved to be very expensive to procure, Dr. Kamala had to learn the technique of preparation from Monash University, Melbourne. 

It also required a whole array of life sustaining salts and the Milli-Q water purification systems in order to be able to prepare it back home. Now the lab still prepares culture medium besides using commercial media for specialized procedures like ICSI /IMSI, PICSI, blastocyst cultures and PGT-A / M. 

When it was first started, the Laboratory was equipped to do only Intra uterine inseminations and thereafter progressed to incorporate the latest techniques in advanced infertility management. 

The staffs are constantly updated on newer techniques and follow a rigid protocol in Laboratory maintenance as well as documented and storage of records. A separate theatre complex is housed within the Lab for performing ovum pick-ups as well as for performing ART related surgical procedures. 

Documentation of all procedures with printout of the treatment following transferred embryos and blastocysts are given to the couples. Our areas of interest are Oncofertility (oocyte / sperm / ovarian tissue

cryopreservation), preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A/M) preimplantation genetic screening (PGS, endometrial implantation studies and more.

FEMALE FACTOR

  • Hormone analysis – FSH, LH, Prolactin, Thyroid Profile, Estradiol and
    Progesterone, Anti mullerian hormone (AMH) test  
  • TORCH panel in indicated cases  
  • Antiphospholipid antibody work up 

The hospital is also attached to an Advanced Ultrasound Imaging center and Genetic Lab for their referral services and genetic workup.

At our center we perform the following procedures to help us arrive at a conclusive diagnosis to ensure the best possiblechances for conception

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES   

  • Diagnostic / Operative Laparoscopy  
  • Diagnostic / Operative Hysteroscopy  
  • Endometrial Biopsy / Curettage
  • Fractional curettage / Dilatation and curettage

  OPERATIVE PROCEDURES 

  • Cervix Biopsy / Cryo Cautery 
  • Cervical Cerclage

ENDOSCOPIC (LAPAROSCOPY) PROCEDURES  

  • Clearance of Endometriotic cysts / Adhesions /
    Hydrosalpinx
  • Laparoscopic electrocoagulation of ovarian surface (LEOS)
  • Fibroid Removal
  • Adenomyosis reduction
  • Hysterectomy  
  • Vaginoplasty (Reconstruction of Vagina)
  • Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH)
    Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH)
