About the department
The Department of Reproductive Medicine at the Memorial Atasehir Hospital Istanbul provides the high-quality performance of all modern procedures for the treatment of infertility in men and women. The fertility doctors manage to achieve pregnancy in more than 65% of cases, which is much higher than the average number in the world. Thus, the department has won a solid reputation not only in Turkey, but also in the developed European countries. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Cem Demirel.
The department's specialists have excellent skills in the field of their competence and successfully cope with such complex clinical cases as recurrent pregnancy loss, the consequences of unsuccessful IVF procedures, pregnancy planning in women over the age of 35. The department's service range also includes preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the exclusion of genetic pathologies in a child. For example, PGD helps to effectively detect such pathologies as thalassemia, neuromuscular disorders, hemophilia, etc. In addition, the department became a nationwide pioneer in HLA typing for acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, Lafora disease, Bartter syndrome, etc.
The first and the most important stage of the therapeutic process is a comprehensive examination of the couple for the detection of the causes of the impossibility of conceiving a child. According to the diagnostic results obtained, the doctor develops an individual treatment regimen, which is aimed at conceiving the desired pregnancy.
The most popular and effective assisted reproductive method is in vitro fertilization (IVF). More than 3,000 such procedures are performed in the medical facility annually. The essence of the IVF procedure is the fusion of germ cells outside the body: eggs and sperm are extracted from the body, fertilization takes place in laboratory conditions. Then the fertilized eggs are placed in an incubator for 5-6 days and planted in the uterus during the division.
