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 IVF procedure used to enhance the embryo implantation process by gently thinning the outer coating of the embryo, allowing it to hatch from its shell and attach to the uterine wall more easily.
This technique is often used for patients with repeated implantation failures or advanced maternal age. In Greece, Assisted Hatching is usually performed in combination with ICSI and fresh embryo transfer.
