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?[edit | edit source]
- 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 | edit source]
- 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.
