Gamete intra fallopian transfer

GIFT and ZIFT can be used to treat many types of infertility, except cases caused by damage or abnormalities of the fallopian tubes. These techniques can also be used in cases of mild male infertility, as long as the sperm is capable of fertilizing an egg.

GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer) is a procedure where multiple eggs are removed from a woman’s ovaries and then along with the sperm placed in a tube (catheter).

The catheter is inserted through a small abdominal incision and into one of her fallopian tube. The eggs and sperm are then injected into the fallopian tube using a surgical procedure called laparoscopy under general anesthesia. Usually, two eggs are placed in each fallopian tube.

ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer) is a procedure which combines in vitro fertilization (IVF) and GIFT.

In here eggs are stimulated and collected using IVF methods, then mixed with sperm in the laboratory. Fertilized eggs (zygotes) are then laparoscopically returned to the fallopian tubes where they will be carried into the uterus. The hope is for the zygote to implant in the uterus and develop into a fetus.

To find out more about the GIFT and ZIFT, watch the medical video below:
