Zusammenfassung

Die Implantation als erfolgreicher Beginn einer sich etablierenden Schwangerschaft stellt das Ergebnis eines durch zahlreiche Faktoren von Embryo und Endometrium beeinflussten Zusammenspieles dar. Dabei lässt sich im Einzelnen oft nicht eruieren, was Ursache der wiederholt ausbleibenden Einnistung ist und ab wann Krankheitswert vorliegt. Für verschiedene therapeutische Ansätze zur Verbesserung der Implantation gibt es keine oder nur wenige Interventionsstudien, die bei der vermuteten Kausalität umgekehrt auch den Nutzen der Behandlung beweisen. Das Kapitel stellt den aktuellen Kenntnisstand der Diagnostik sowie der therapeutischen Möglichkeiten zur Verbesserung der Implantation dar.
