    Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) shows promise for infertility treatment. This early study resulted in two successful pregnancies and births, suggesting GIFT as an alternative to in vitro fertilization for eligible patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Infertility Treatment
    • Assisted Reproductive Technology

    Background:

    • Infertility affects a significant portion of the population.
    • Assisted reproductive technologies are crucial for managing infertility.
    • Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) emerged as a potential treatment option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the initial application of Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) in human patients.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of GIFT as a treatment for infertility.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten infertile patients underwent GIFT using laparoscopy or minilaparotomy.
    • Hormonal stimulation (human menopausal gonadotropin, human chorionic gonadotropin) was administered.
    • Oocytes and prepared sperm (wash and swim-up technique) were transferred into the fallopian tubes.

    Main Results:

    • Four out of ten patients achieved pregnancy.
    • Two pregnancies resulted in the delivery of viable infants.
    • Two pregnancies were unfortunately aborted.

    Conclusions:

    • Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) is a viable option for infertility treatment.
    • GIFT can be considered an alternative to in vitro fertilization when at least one fallopian tube is functional.
    • Further research and application of GIFT are warranted.
