“…While other researchers have elected to pursue wavelengths of high absorption coefficient (8) and have recently reported alternative methods for delivering these particular laser pulses to the zona target by either using glass micropipettes filled with positive air pressure (with the 193-nm radiation) (9) or using specialized fibers or micropipettes (in the case of the 2.94-txm erbium:YAG laser) (10), we have chosen to focus our attention on other wavelengths. Possible difficulties with contact methods such as energy delivery to the target, the need for making use of a glass or salt-based instrument (some of them are toxic), and the necessity for maintaining physical contact between the delivery media (pipette or fiber) defeat most of the advantages in using laser light and essentially reduce the laser-based techniques to a mechanical/contact mode, similar to conventional PZD methods.…”

“…Le souci majeur est que toute manipulation peut engendrer des conséquences importantes sur le devenir de l'embryon, donc moins la technique est invasive, plus les risques à long terme sont faibles. Ainsi, l'utilisation de la microchirurgie au laser permet d'inciser de façon très précise les différentes couches de l'ovocyte ou de l'embryon, augmentant les chances de fertilisation et d'implantation et minimisant les effets secondaires [21].…”

“…These mechanical methods seem to make it difficult to produce standardised and uniform holes in the ZP. The introduction of laser techniques into the field of ART opened different possibilities for fast and efficient manipulation procedures (Godke et al, 1990;Tadir et al, 1991;Blanchet et al, 1992;Strohmer and Feichtinger, 1992;Obruca et al, 1994;Antinori et al, 1995;Germond et al, 1995;Rink et al, 1996). Tadir et al (1989Tadir et al ( , 1991 described first the use of laser techniques in assisted reproduction and Palanker et al (1991) used it for ZP drilling.…”
