Zygote intrafallopian transfer

Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer, also called ZIFT, is a method used to treat infertility in which an egg fertilized outside the body is placed into a woman's fallopian tube.

Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) combines in vitro fertilization (IVF) and Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer GIFT.

What is GIFT?

• Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) uses multiple eggs collected from the ovaries.
• The eggs are then placed into a thin catheter along with the sperm to be used.
• The gametes (both eggs and sperm) are then injected into the fallopian tubes using a surgical procedure called laparoscopy using general anesthesia.

What is ZIFT?

• Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) combines in vitro fertilization (IVF) and GIFT.
• Eggs are stimulated and collected using IVF methods.
• Then the eggs are mixed with sperm in the lab.
• Fertilized eggs called zygotes are then laparoscopically returned to the fallopian tubes where they will be carried into the uterus.
• The goal is for the zygote to implant in the uterus and develop into a fetus.
• Eggs are stimulated and collected using IVF methods.
