Currently, a new direction in human embryology and practical obstetrics is in vitro fertilization. In Russia, the number of births after assisted reproductive technologies has more than doubled in eight years. According to statistics, the risk of having a child with a genetic pathology exists regardless of whether pregnancy occurs naturally or after in vitro fertilization. Scientific and practical aspects of new reproductive technologies formed the basis of the Interregional Scientific Student Conference “Assisted Reproductive Technologies: Morphological Aspects.” The Conference was organized by the teaching staff of the Histology, Cytology and Embryology Department of the OSMU and the Pathophysiology and General Pathology Department of the Medical Institute of Surgut State University.
2nd year students who completed the embryology course covered the issues of gametogenesis in their reports, noted the main factors influencing spermatogenesis and oogenesis leading to infertility, and spoke about the stages of fertilization in vivo and in vitro.
Kirill S. TAGAKOV, doctor of clinical laboratory diagnostics and PhD student at the Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology, shared his knowledge with future colleagues and highlighted the results of the work of the Omsk Center for Reproductive Medicine - Mother and Child Clinic. In his report, he addressed questions about the main stages of preparation and conduct of in vitro fertilization in a modern clinic, about embryo transfer into the uterine cavity, and about the indications, contraindications and complications of in vitro fertilization.
The Conference participants learned a lot about the provision of medical care to patients with reproductive health disorders using assisted reproductive technologies in the Omsk region. The speakers were asked many questions, some of which sparked heated discussions.
All the participants of the Conference were given the opportunity to study poster presentations on relevant topics and ask the authors questions. At the end of the Conference, the best works were awarded with certificates.
