The Fertility Team SFM Human Reproduction Center in San Francisco de Macorís, led by Dr. Odalis Hernández, continues to push the boundaries of reproductive medicine. They recently introduced the groundbreaking technique of embryonic biopsy and preimplantation genetic diagnosis of aneuploidies (PGT-TO).
This procedure, which was carried out for the first time in the region on January 25, involves extracting 4 to 8 cells from an embryo in the blastocyst stage to analyze its chromosome count and detect any abnormalities. The center used advanced massive sequencing (NGS) technology for this process.
Embryo biopsy allows the selection of the most suitable embryo for implantation, significantly increasing the success rate of In Vitro treatments. Additionally, this technique provides the option to choose the sex of the future baby.
The Fertility Team SFM is known for offering a wide range of advanced procedures in human reproduction, including conventional IVF, ICSI, PISCI, cryopreservation of embryos, eggs, and sperm, and a modern egg bank, among others. The team comprises experienced doctors and biologists who use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the highest success rate in their treatments.
Dr. Odalis Hernández, along with biologists Dr. José González Daga, Dr. Jonathan Vásquez, and Dr. Tania Modesto, have set a precedent in reproductive medicine, positioning the center as a leader in the field of health. Their introduction of cutting-edge techniques not only marks an important milestone in the country but also offers hope and new opportunities for those seeking to become parents.
In addition to reproductive medicine, the center also offers specialized consultations in Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical and Reproductive Psychology, urology, andrology, nutrition, cardiology, morphological sonography, and other specialized sonography. They also have units for weight loss and preservation for cancer patients.
