Microsurgery Essay

The reproduction process is delicate and precise function in nature with multiple steps were error can occur, infertility is defined as the inability to reproduce spawn through natural means, for humans the process can be assisted by modern day technology, microsurgery. Microsurgery or (ART) assisting reproductive technologies, are used when error occurs in the natural reproduction process of both genders, an example of when an ART can be used is when:
- There are blocked fallopian tubes
- Physical uterus damage
- Hormonal imbalances
- Genetic defects
These symptoms can all be assisted through A.R.T’s as well as more uncommon natural malfunctions.
Even though these “errors” can occur naturally, external activities outside the body can assist
The purpose of microsurgery is to assist in the reproductive process through use of modern technology to achieve perfected birth with-out error. Although were at the stage to produce the assisting technologies it is often un-successful as we have not yet perfected the technology, common causes of the microsurgery being unsuccessful are:
- Females:
- Too much damage has been sustained to the fallopian tubes
- Hydrosalpinges leak fluid and swell up the fallopian tubes reducing the chance of IVF
- Males:
- The immune system has built up and immune system towards sperm after the vasectomy, creating a 50% chance of failure or success after reversal.
In what terms is microsurgery un-successful? Microsurgery is un-successful as it has a low rate of success in the patient as there are many obligations within the reproductive system that cannot be avoided even with modern technology, for example hydrosalpinges. Hydrosalpinges can leak fluid within the fallopian tubes which causes immense swelling, to perform an IVF transplant within a female these tubes cannot be damaged irreparably concluding too one scenario as to why microsurgery is often
