Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is a tool of assisted reproductive technology against infertility. Assisted reproductive technology ( ART) is a general term referring to methods used to achieve Pregnancy by artificial or partially artificial means Female infertility|Male infertility Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a Man or a Woman to contribute to conception. Eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, and placed in one of the Fallopian tubes, along with the man's sperm. The Fallopian tubes, also known as oviducts, uterine tubes, and salpinges ( singular salpinx) are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated The technique, which was pioneered by endocrinologist Ricardo Asch, allows fertilization to take place inside the woman's body. Ricardo Asch is an Argentine -born Obstetrician / Gynecologist and Endocrinologist who was originally notable for his pioneering work in Reproductive
Many specialists in infertility would look at GIFT as a procedure that is outdated (2004) as pregnancy rates in IVF tend to be equal or better and do not require laparoscopy.

Method
It takes, on average, four to six weeks to complete a cycle of GIFT. First, the woman must take a fertility drug to stimulate egg production in the ovaries. "Ovaria" redirects here This is also a proposed section and a Synonym of Solanum. The doctor will monitor the growth of the ovarian follicles, and once they are mature, the woman will be injected with Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG) is a Glycoprotein Hormone produced in Pregnancy that is made by the Embryo soon after conception The eggs will be harvested approximately 36 hours later, mixed with the man's sperm, and placed back into the woman's Fallopian tubes using a laparoscope. The Fallopian tubes, also known as oviducts, uterine tubes, and salpinges ( singular salpinx) are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated Laparoscopic surgery, also called Minimally invasive surgery (MIS, bandaid surgery, Keyhole surgery, or pinhole surgery
Indications
A woman must have at least one normal fallopian tube in order for GIFT to be suitable. It is used in instances where the fertility problem relates to sperm dysfunction, and where the couple has idiopathic (unknown cause) infertility. Some patients may prefer the procedure to IVF for ethical reasons, since the fertilization takes place inside the body. In vitro fertilisation ( IVF) is a process by which
Success rate
As with most fertility procedures, success depends on the couple's age and the woman's egg quality. It is estimated that approximately 25-30% of GIFT cycles result in pregnancy [1], with a third of those being multiple pregnancies. A multiple birth occurs when more than one Fetus is carried to term in a single Pregnancy.
