In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a modern treatment for couples who have difficulty conceiving naturally. Instead of fertilization (the union of the egg and sperm) happening inside the woman's body, it occurs under controlled conditions in the laboratory – "in vitro".

During this procedure, eggs are collected from the woman's ovaries and fertilized with the partner's (or donor's) sperm in the laboratory. After embryos are created, doctors select the healthiest one and place it in the woman's uterus, aiming for pregnancy.

IVF is a highly effective solution for many couples who dream of becoming parents. The technique is safe and uses advanced technology, giving couples the opportunity to have a biological child. For many prospective parents, IVF represents not only a medical method, but real hope for a new life.

Who can undergo In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Women with fertility problems: Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, endometriosis, ovulation disorders or low ovarian reserve, advanced age (usually over 35 years).

Men with male infertility: Low sperm count, poor motility or abnormal sperm shape, obstruction in the ejaculatory ducts.

Couples with unexplained infertility: When pregnancy is not achieved after 1-2 years of regular intercourse, without an identified cause.

Cases with repeated failures: Failures with insemination (IUI) or repeated miscarriages without clear reason.

Special or social cases: Fertility preservation before medical treatments (e.g. chemotherapy), use of donated sperm, eggs or embryos, surrogacy, same-sex couples or single women seeking reproductive assistance.

Egian by Intermedica is one of the most established centers in Albania for infertility treatment and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), with a history that begins in 2008. Since its foundation, the IVF program has been led by Dr. Genc Kabili, a figure with over 25 years of clinical experience in obstetrics, gynecology and assisted reproduction, trained in Switzerland and with experience in renowned European centers.

Dr. Kabili's dedication to medical science and his human approach have enabled thousands of couples, from Albania and abroad, to realize their dream of becoming parents. He supports a treatment philosophy that combines personalized protocols, continuous follow-up, and high medical ethics.

European-Level Technology – Next Generation IVF Laboratory

Our In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) center is equipped with modern technology certified according to European standards, guaranteeing optimal conditions for every phase of the reproductive treatment:

• Mars-IVF Class II Workstation from ORIGIO® – sterile workstation for manipulating reproductive cells
• G210 InviCell™ from K Systems™ – incubator with individual control for each embryo, maintaining ideal stability of temperature and atmosphere, like natural conditions
• RI Integra 3™ Micromanipulator from Research Instruments™ – for micromanipulative procedures with high precision (such as ICSI and IMSI)

• IMSI, Assisted Hatching
• PGT-A and PGD (pre-implantation genetic testing)
• FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer), etc.

Complete service and comprehensive care

In addition to technology and expertise, Egian by Intermedica offers:

• A multidisciplinary team of specialists, including obstetrician-gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, embryologists, dedicated nurses, and experienced anesthetists.
• Modern, comfortable, and welcoming environments that create a warm and soothing atmosphere for every patient.
• A preliminary consultation with an obstetrician-gynecologist to develop a personalized treatment plan.
• The opportunity to perform all necessary tests and examinations from the beginning of the IVF process, throughout each trimester of pregnancy, and in the postnatal phase, in an accredited laboratory according to European standards (ISO).
• Our laboratory is certified in quality management with EN ISO 9001:2015 and accredited with EN ISO 15189:2012 by the Hellenic Accreditation System (E.S.Y.D.), ranking among the laboratories with the highest standards in the region.

Modern Technological Infrastructure

In addition to our medical experience and expertise, we use a wide range of specialized equipment that guarantees high quality and maximum safety during every phase of treatment:

• Mars-IVF Class II Workstation by ORIGIO®
  Sterile workstation designed for manipulating reproductive cells under controlled conditions. Provides high protection for embryos and eggs during laboratory procedures.
• G210 InviCell™ by K Systems™
  Innovative incubator with individual control for each embryo, maintaining optimal temperature and gas parameters, creating an environment as close as possible to the mother's body.
• RI Integra 3™ Micromanipulator by Research Instruments™
  Micromanipulation device for maximum precision during delicate procedures such as ICSI and IMSI. Provides complete control over cells under the microscope.
• Voluson E8™ by GE HealthCare
  One of the most advanced ultrasounds for women's reproductive health. Offers clear and detailed images for monitoring ovaries, uterus, and endometrium during the IVF cycle and beyond.

Procedures and Services We Offer

Every treatment we offer is supported by modern technology and prepared in a personalized way for the needs of each couple who entrusts us with their dream of becoming parents:

• Classic IVF – In Vitro Fertilization
  One of the most commonly used techniques for treating infertility, where eggs are fertilized with sperm under laboratory conditions.
• ICSI – Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
  Mainly used in cases of male infertility, where a selected sperm is injected directly into the egg.
• FET – Frozen Embryo Transfer
  Allows embryos to be preserved for later use, when the uterine lining is better prepared for implantation.
• PICSI – Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
  PICSI is a technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) (specifically during ICSI) to select the healthiest sperm for fertilization. This involves using a substance called hyaluronic acid to identify sperm that are more likely to be mature and have lower DNA fragmentation, potentially improving pregnancy rates and reducing the risk of miscarriage.
• PGT-A & PGD – Pre-implantation Genetic Testing
  Analyze embryos for chromosomal abnormalities or genetic mutations, to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. In these genetic tests, our specialized staff provides dedicated counseling and support in every case, helping couples make the best decisions for reproductive health.
• IMSI – Advanced Sperm Selection with up to x6000 Magnification
  Ultra-precise selection of sperm for patients with low sperm quality or previous failures in IVF/ICSI.
• Assisted Hatching
  Supportive technique to facilitate "hatching" of the embryo and its attachment to the uterus. Recommended for older women or with frozen embryos.
• EmbryoGlue®
  Supportive solution that helps the embryo adhere more easily to the endometrium, improving chances for successful implantation.
• ERA – Endometrial Receptivity Analysis
  Test that determines the ideal moment for embryo transfer, especially in cases of repeated failures.
• IVM – In Vitro Maturation of Eggs
  Alternative for women with low ovarian reserve. Eggs are collected without full hormonal stimulation and matured in the laboratory.
