ABSTRACT Objective To describe the approach of transabdominal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval in a patient of müllerian anomaly and ovarian malposition. Setting A tertiary referral reproductive medicine unit. Patient A 23-year-old patient with müllerian anomaly (right unicornuate with left rudimentary horn uterus) and ovarian malposition. Intervention Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, transabdominal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval. Main outcome measure Total and mature oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, embryo number and quality. Result Five oocytes were retrieved transabdominally using percutaneous needle puncture under ultrasound guidance. Conclusion In in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols, patients with müllerian anomaly with inaccessible ovaries vaginally, transabdominal ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration is a safe and efficacious alternative technique for oocyte retrieval.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a broad term used to describe the process of obtaining an egg and uniting it with sperm in a laboratory setting, and subsequently placing the fertilized egg into the uterus in hopes of achieving a live birth. In terms of anesthesiology, IVF primarily means oocyte retrieval. Historically the oocytes were retrieved laparoscopically. With the introduction of the vaginal ultrasound, the method of retrieval changed to a less invasive and costly procedure. Transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte aspiration changed the requirements of anesthesia. In this chapter, the anesthesia for oocyte retrieval and related IVF procedures are described.
