Overview
Introduction: During the 30th symposium of assisted reproduction held on November 11, 2020 in Brno, the solved problems in reproductive medicine in the Czech Republic in 2020 were presented. The selected topics have concerned not only current issues in the field of clinical embryology and genetics as well as gynecology, but also legislation and ethics. Discussed topics: 1. How much time does the doctor have in the CAR (centrum of assisted reproduction) outpatient clinic per patient and how does the embryologist communicate with clients? 2. Reproduction and PGT-M in oncology patients and patients at risk with hereditary oncogenic mutations. 3. Non-invasive genetic testing of embryos from culture medium. 4. Genome editing. 5. What is the need to monitor hormonal levels in stimulation protocols? 6. Monitoring and embryo selection for transfer/kryo. 7. Is it time to change the law on donor remuneration? Methods: The topics were prepared in advance by authorized members of our company with the task of elaborating theses, which they presented in a separate conference block. The presentation and the discussion were broadcast directly from the broadcast studio at Hotel International via an online connection. After the conference, all discussion topics and comments were incorporated. Conclusion: The work presents the state of the solved problems of reproductive medicine in the Czech Republic.
