The Medicine Institute of Reproduction coordinates several otherwise independent fields of activities.

Clinic activities : consultation (sterility management, medical and surgical gynaecology, obstetrics, endocrinology, genetic).

Ultrasonography : feminine and masculine pelvic ultrasonography, obstetric sonography, prenatal diagnosis (amniocentesis).

Reproduction biology : spermiology, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization (ICSI/IMSI), sperm and embryo cryopreservation.

Cytogenetics laboratory : blood and foetal karyotype.

Versatile medical analysis laboratory : hormone dosage, serum screening for trisomy 21.

Surgical acts are performed at clinique Bouchard.

A dedicated secretariat takes care of the couples in an assisted reproductive technology course.
(Assisted Reproductive Technology Unit: 00 33 491 159 021).

Clinicians' and biologists' acts are in the law frame of French legislation.

The informations allowing support by complementary health care insurances are given to the patient by the secretariats and through different information booklets. (IMR secretariat, 6 rue Rocca 00 33 491 167 910).

The IMR also participates in research and education, therefore contributing to knowledge development in the field of infertility treatment.

Since more than 20 years, over 1000 inseminations and 1500 In Vitro fertilizations are realized each year.

Couples with a fertility problem are tended to by the team, from medical care up to surgical operation if necessary, after a multidisciplinary consultation.

A sonography center, equipped with top of the line technology provides the proper gynaecological and obstetrical follow-up.

A new generation of physicians, all from the hospital environment, has joined the IMR to better supplement everyone's knowledge and availability.

Let us thank here Doctor Roger Roulier and Doctor Marie-Christine Sitri-Bouhaben, who lead the way and allowed the IMR to continue its work.
