Dr. Kaveri Gupta of Ashirvad Multi Speciality Hospital, Varanasi, presented an insightful scientific discussion on the “Role of Surgery Prior to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).” The presentation emphasized how evidence-based fertility surgeries can significantly improve IVF and reproductive outcomes when performed in carefully selected patients.
Dr. Gupta highlighted important fertility conditions such as hydrosalpinx, fibroids, endometrial polyps, uterine septum, adhesions, and deep infiltrating endometriosis, explaining how these structural abnormalities may negatively affect implantation and pregnancy success. The presentation demonstrated that procedures like salpingectomy, hysteroscopic polypectomy, myomectomy, and septoplasty can enhance uterine receptivity, reduce embryotoxic effects, and improve live birth rates before IVF treatment.
A major focus of the presentation was individualized patient care. Dr. Kaveri Gupta stressed that surgery should not replace ART, but rather complement it to optimize reproductive success. International guidelines from ESHRE and ASRM were referenced to support personalized decision-making based on ovarian reserve, patient age, symptoms, and fertility history.
With over 20 years of experience in Obstetrics, Gynecology, Infertility, and IVF, Dr. Kaveri Gupta showcased Ashirvad Infertility & IVF Centre’s commitment to advanced, evidence-based fertility treatment in Varanasi. The presentation reinforced the importance of combining modern ART techniques with precise surgical management for better reproductive outcomes.
