Dr. Silber, a renowned pioneer in microsurgery and infertility, is considered one of the world's leading authorities on vasectomy reversal, tubal ligation reversal, IVF, sperm retrieval, ICSI, egg and embryo freezing, ovary transplantation, and more.
In 2007, Dr. Silber published a completely revised and updated version of his classic book, How to Get Pregnant, which lays out in simple, clear terms the basic information that will help infertile couples learn how they can have a healthy, happy baby, and help younger women preserve their fertility.
We intend for this site to provide you with solid, extensive information on the latest in infertility, and to provide some information about our center. If you have any questions or would like even more information, please feel free to contact us.
1) Microsurgery [video]:
http://infertile.com/media_pages/educational/mvr_explained.htm
MVR (Microscopic Vasectomy Reversal):
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/vasectomy-reversal/vasectomy-reversal.htm
Under high-powered magnification, the vas deferens is surgically repaired. But restoring fertility to men who have previously undergone vasectomy also requires much more delicate microsurgery to bypass secondary epididymal blockage found in 80% of vasectomized men.
Tubal Ligation Reversal:
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/tubal-reversal.htm
For women who have previously undergone tubal ligation, we can also restore their fertility with a small incision and only one day in the hospital.
Sperm Aspiration for ICSI:
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/sperm-aspiration.htm
Sperm retrieval directly from the testicle or epididymis essentially eliminates male infertility.
2) Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization):
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/ivf-in-vitro-fertilization.htm
The husband's sperm fertilize the wife's eggs outside the body (in a test tube or culture dish), and the resulting embryos are then returned to her.
ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection):
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/icsi.htm
A single sperm is injected directly into the egg. The development of ICSI has solved most if not all cases of male infertility.
Mini-IVF:
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/ivf-in-vitro-fertilization.htm#mini-IVF
A very unique approach to simplify IVF for patients, reducing the cost associated with more conventional IVF protocols while maintaining comparable success rates.
PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis):
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/pgd.htm
A single cell from an 8-cell embryo is genetically analyzed in order to determine more accurately if it is normal.
3) Preserving Your Fertility:
Preserving Your Fertility:
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/preserving-your-fertility.htm
An overview of the exciting new technologies to find out where you are on your biological clock and how to beat it, preserving your fertility indefinitely.
Ovarian Tissue Freezing:
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/freeze2.htm
A thin cortex of the ovary can be easily extracted and frozen, then re-grafted at a later date, restoring fertility. This is an outpatient procedure.
Antral Follicle Counting [video]:
http://infertile.com/media_pages/television/2006-02-07_ch2_EggCount.htm
A brief, painless ultrasound procedure to determine precisely where you are on your biological clock, and how long you can expect your fertility to last naturally.
4) Other Treatments:
Sperm Aspiration:
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/sperm-aspiration.htm
Sperm Aspiration is the technique for retrieving sperm directly from the testicles of men who have no sperm in the ejaculate.
Egg, Ovarian Tissue, Embryo, and Sperm Freezing and Storage:
http://infertile.com/infertility-treatments/freeze.htm
With advanced cryogenic technology, egg, ovarian tissue, embryos, and sperm can be stored indefinitely to better ensure one's future fertility.
Ovary Transplantation
http://infertile.com/inthenew/lay/ov_trans_home.htm
First with identical twins, now with non-identical sisters. Using the same technique to freeze the ovary before cancer treatment, we can hold your biological clock so you can have children at a later time. Click the links below to learn more about ovary transplantation.
