Assisted reproduction technique involving stimulation of multiple follicular development with drugs such as gonadotrophins. Mature oocytes obtained following stimulation are retrieved from the ovary and immediately mixed with the partner's or with donor sperm. Together, the gametes are transferred directly into the fallopian tubes where fertilization may take place.

A form of assisted conception, which involves the combining of egg and sperm outside of the body and immediately placing them into the fallopian tubes to achieve conception.

After egg retrieval, the eggs are mixed with sperm and then placed, using a minor surgical procedure (laparoscopy), into a woman's fallopian tubes for in vivo fertilization.

a surgical process' whereby eggs and sperm are put together outside of the woman's body and then placed inside her fallopian tube for fertilization to occur.

An assisted reproductive technology that involves removing eggs from a woman's ovary at surgery, combining the eggs with sperm and immediately injecting both the eggs and the sperm directly into the fallopian tubes of the uterus. Fertilization then takes place on its own inside the tube. One disadvantage of GIFT is that neither the doctor nor the couple know whether or not fertilization took place if the woman does not become pregnant.

A fertility treatment that, when successful, allows fertilization to occur within a woman's body. During the first stage of the GIFT treatment, a woman receives fertility drugs to stimulate production of multiple follicles and eggs. The woman's hormone levels are measured so that the doctor will know when the eggs have reached maturity. At this point, the eggs are removed, combined with sperm, and quickly inserted into the woman's fallopian tubes through a small incision in her abdomen. GIFT is not an appropriate treatment for women with closed fallopian tubes.

An ART procedure that mixes sperm and eggs and places them directly into a fallopian tube. Once fertilized, the embryo travels into the uterus in much the same fashion as a natural pregnancy.

An assisted reproductive technology that involves surgically removing eggs from a woman's ovary, combining them with sperm, and immediately injecting the eggs/sperm mixture into the fallopian tube. Fertilization then hopefully takes place inside the fallopian tube. One disadvantage of GIFT is the inability to know whether or not fertilization took place if the woman does not become pregnant.

transvaginal egg collection or via laparoscopy, combining it with the sperm and immediately placing the sperm and eggs into the fallopian tube, where fertilisation may occur.

An ART procedure that involves retrieving a woman's eggs from her body and then placing them in her fallopian tubes with sperm where they will hopefully join together.

GIFT A method of assisted reproduction that involves surgically removing an egg from the woman’s ovary, combining it with sperm, and immediately injecting the egg and sperm into the fallopian tube. Fertilization takes place inside the fallopian tube.

This procedure involves the placement of washed sperm cells and mature eggs directly into the fallopian tube using laparoscopy. Stimulation of the woman's ovaries and the retrieval of the eggs is performed by the same methods as those used for IVF.

The direct transfer of a mixture of sperm and eggs into the fallopian tube immediately following egg retrieval. Fertilization takes place inside the tube.

A variation of ART in which unfertilized eggs and sperm are placed together in the fallopian tubes, with fertilization taking place in the tube instead of a laboratory dish

procedure, performed surgically, where the egg is removed, mixed with washed sperm, and then transferred back into the fallopian tubes where fertilization may take place.

An assisted conception technique that involves placing eggs and sperms into the fallopian tubes for fertilization.

An ART procedure in which eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, combined with washed sperm, and then both eggs and sperm are placed into the woman's fallopian tube(s) through a small incision in her abdomen. The procedure is performed by laparoscopy. (details)

A method of assisted reproduction that involves surgically removing an egg from the ovary via laparoscopy, combining it with sperm and immediately placing the sperm/eggs into the fallopian tube, where fertilization may occur.

A fertility treatment that involves the placement of a mixture of sperm and eggs into the fallopian tubes.

A therapeutic gamete-related technique that involves the injection of one or more eggs mixed with washed, capacitated, and incubated sperm directly into the fallopian tube(s) in the hope that fertilization will occur in vivo and that a healthy pregnancy will follow.

A technique that may be used in lieu of in vitro fertilisation for women with patent (clear and open) tubes. After egg retrieval the eggs are mixed with the husbands sperm and then injected through the fimbria into the womans fallopian tubes for in vivo fertilisation.

the process whereby gametes (unfertilized eggs plus sperm) are transferred directly into the fallopian tube. When compared with in vitro fertilization, this process often leads to stronger and faster-growing embryos, which reach the uterus at the right time and orientation after fertilization.

A laparoscopic procedure where the sperm and egg are placed in the fallopian tube together.

a method of treating infertility in which eggs are taken from a woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm and then the fertilised egg is injected into one of her fallopian tubes

An assisted reproductive technique that involves removing sperm and eggs, mixing them together and placing them into the fallopian tubes.

An assisted conception procedure in which unfertilised eggs plus sperm (i.e. gametes) are transferred to the fallopian tube, so that fertilisation occurs in the normal place. Because in vitro fertilisation is avoided, for some people GIFT is more morally acceptable than IVF is. The disadvantages are that laparoscopy is required and that for the pregnancy rate to be comparable to IVF too many eggs need to be transferred, risking high multiple pregnancy. See also: zygote intrafallopian transfer

The direct transfer of a mixture of sperm and eggs into the fallopian tube. Fertilization takes place inside the tube. GIFT is used in women with healthy fallopian tubes. Pregnancy rates are slightly higher with GIFT than in IVF.

method of treating infertility by removing eggs from a woman's ovaries, combining them with sperm from her partner or a donor in the laboratory, and placing the eggs and sperm together in one of her fallopian tubes, where fertilization can occur.

A technique that may be used in lieu of in vitro fertilization for women with patent (clear and open) tubes. After egg retrieval the eggs are mixed with sperm and then immediately injected through the fimbria into the woman's fallopian tubes for in vivo fertilization. Procedure is done through laparoscopy.

( GIFT ) - A technique of IVF whereby an ovum is collected from the ovary, then mixed with the partner's sperm and replaced into the woman's Fallopian tube to fertilise normally. ( more...)

Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is an infertility treatment in which eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, and placed in one of the fallopian tubes, along with the man's sperm. This allows fertilization to take place inside the woman's body.
