Surgeons performing surgery to harvest a woman's ova for in vitro fertilisation using a laparoscope inserted through the abdominal wall. The woman is given fertility drugs to stimulate the production of several ova,rather than the usual one. These are then removed and fertilised in a petri dish,using a fresh or frozen sample of the husband's sperm. If fertilisation is successful,embryos are transferred back into the woman's uterus via a catheter inserted through the cervix. 3-4 embryos are often introduced to increase the probability that one will implant. The photograph was taken at the Jones Institute in Norfolk,Virginia,one of the world's most successful IVF clinics | |
