Zygote intrafallopian transfer

From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA

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?[edit]

  • 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?[edit]

  • 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.
