IV. Clinical Expertise and Treatment Philosophy

Full-cycle Diagnosis and Treatment for Assisted Reproductive Technology

• Systematic etiological investigation and individualized treatment planning for infertility, with comprehensive management of complete in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles, covering ovarian stimulation protocol design, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer.

• Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is applied clinically to improve embryo implantation rates and live birth rates through chromosomal screening.

• Standardized application of fertility preservation services, including oocyte cryopreservation and embryo cryopreservation technologies.

• A comprehensive assessment of female fertility, covering hormonal tests such as AMH and FSH, along with integrated evaluations of ovarian function and uterine cavity environment.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Reproductive Endocrine Disorders

• Standardized diagnosis and treatment of reproductive endocrine disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovulatory dysfunction, and diminished ovarian reserve, with targeted interventions for infertility caused by endocrine abnormalities.

Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery

• Proficiently performs advanced laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and laser gynecological surgeries; utilizes minimally invasive techniques to treat gynecological conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and tubal blockage or hydrosalpinx, thereby reducing surgical trauma and shortening postoperative recovery time.

Featured Clinical Philosophy

For gynecological patients with infertility, we break the conventional approach of “simple ovulation induction for assisted reproduction” by prioritizing minimally invasive techniques to treat lesions and improve the pelvic and uterine cavity environments before transitioning to assisted reproductive treatments, thereby reducing the risk of assisted reproduction failure and improving overall pregnancy outcomes.

V. Academic Research Achievements

Dr. Thidigong has long been deeply engaged in basic and clinical research in reproductive medicine, having published peer-reviewed academic papers in internationally authoritative journals with a research focus on the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In 2003, he published the paper *Cytokine regulation by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in human endometrial cells* as first author in *Fertility and Sterility*, a top-tier journal in the field of reproduction and the official journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. The study investigated the cytokine-regulatory effects of PPAR-γ on human endometrial cells, providing theoretical basis for diagnostic and therapeutic targets in endometriosis. This paper has been cited over 40 times in international related studies.
