By making a tiny gap in the zona pellucida, we can assist the embryo in emerging from its shell during the assisted hatching technique. In some patients, aided hatching is thought to increase the likelihood that an embryo will successfully implant in the uterus by assisting the embryo's release from its shell by making a tiny break in the zona pellucida. Some people may have higher pregnancy rates as a result of assisted hatching because it is thought to help an embryo implant in the uterus.

Assisted Hatching is a micromanipulation technique used in IVF treatment to improve implantation rates by artificially opening the outer shell (zona pellucida) of a fertilized egg before transfer.
This procedure is commonly used for women with repeated implantation failure or advanced maternal age. Success rates vary and depend on individual patient factors.
