Ovarian puncture, also known as ovarian aspiration or ovum pickup, is a medical procedure used to extract mature eggs from a woman's ovaries for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or other assisted reproductive techniques. The process involves using ultrasound guidance to locate the follicles containing the eggs and then inserting a thin needle through the vaginal wall and into the ovary to withdraw the egg and surrounding fluid.
