A defect in the hatching stage is considered an important cause of implantation failure. Therefore, assisted hatching (AH), which involves artificial disruption of the zona pellucida, has been proposed as a method for improving the capacity of the embryo to implant. But the advantage of using laser to facilitate the hatching process of embryos in ART practice is debatable, and an optimum strategy for performing LAH remains elusive. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of laser-assisted hatching(LAH) on clinical outcomes. Patients were randomly divided into control and LAH groups. The zona pellucida was thinned or drilled with a diode laser. Relevant parameters are recorded to evaluate the validity of LAH in ART.
