Corniche Hospital Leads In Fertility Preservation With Innovative Minimally Invasive Egg Freezing Technique

Corniche Hospital, part of the SEHA network and PureHealth, has reached a significant milestone in fertility preservation. The hospital has successfully performed a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure for egg collection and freezing. This advanced technique marks a major step forward in reproductive medicine, offering new hope to women with reduced ovarian reserves or those facing medical conditions like gynaecological cancers.

This procedure is particularly beneficial for women who cannot rely on traditional fertility preservation methods. It highlights the emirate's capabilities in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), making it a top choice for such services in the region. With an over 51% success rate in IVF procedures, Corniche Hospital stands among the best globally.

Dr. Safaa, a single woman and cancer survivor, benefited from this innovative approach. Her medical history limited her fertility preservation options to laparoscopic surgery. The expert team at Corniche Hospital successfully retrieved and froze her eggs, offering her hope for future family planning despite past challenges.

"This method is a testament to our unwavering commitment to empowering women by offering them greater reproductive choices," said Dr. George Botros, Consultant in Gynaecology and Fertility at Corniche Hospital. "Laparoscopic egg retrieval is not only a safe and highly efficient procedure, but it also offers hope to women who are facing unique medical and social challenges."

The trend of delayed marriage and family planning has increased the importance of fertility preservation. Many women now choose to postpone motherhood due to personal or professional reasons. Fertility preservation ensures they can still conceive later when they are ready.

Commitment to Advanced Care

Dr. Botros emphasised their dedication to providing tailored fertility services that meet each patient's needs. "Our mission is to provide world-class fertility services that are tailored to each patient’s unique needs," he stated. "We are proud to be at the forefront of offering innovative, minimally invasive solutions that prioritise the well-being and long-term reproductive goals of our patients."

The successful implementation of laparoscopic egg retrieval at Corniche Hospital demonstrates their commitment to advanced care. This achievement reinforces their role as leaders in providing compassionate and cutting-edge reproductive health solutions for women across the region.
