Transvaginal follicle puncture is the leading method for ovum retrieval globally. This review examines its techniques, anesthesia, flushing, disinfection, and risks, alongside emerging oocyte harvesting methods.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecology
  • Ultrasound Technology

Background:

  • Transvaginal follicle puncture under sonographic control is the standard for ovum retrieval.
  • Limited literature exists on alternative oocyte retrieval methods and the specifics of the primary technique.
  • The simplicity of the procedure contributes to the scarcity of detailed reports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and classify existing literature on transvaginal ovum retrieval.
  • To analyze key aspects including anesthesia, follicle flushing, and vaginal disinfection.
  • To evaluate the risks associated with transvaginal oocyte retrieval and explore new harvesting techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and classification of relevant scientific papers.

  • Categorization based on general studies, anesthesia, follicle flushing, disinfection, risk assessment, and new techniques.
  • Synthesis of information on the established transvaginal follicle puncture method.

    • Main Results:

    • The review categorizes studies covering anesthesia, follicle flushing necessity, vaginal disinfection protocols, and risk evaluation.
    • It highlights the dominance of transvaginal follicle puncture as the current standard.
    • Emerging techniques in oocyte harvesting are also considered within the classification.

    Conclusions:

    • Transvaginal follicle puncture under sonographic control remains the predominant ovum retrieval technique.
    • Further research and detailed reporting on the technique, its variations, and associated risks are warranted.
    • The review provides a structured overview of the field, identifying areas for future investigation in oocyte harvesting.
