ABSTRACT

Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) has emerged as one of the major forms of assisted reproductive technology (ART). It began in 1979 with a case report in which clomiphene citrate, 50mg, was given to a woman on cycle days 5 to 9 and artificial insemination performed on cycle day 12.1 A laparotomy was performed the following morning to reanastomose the ligated fallopian tubes. Six follicles were aspirated and the follicular fluid divided equally and transferred into each reopened tube. A normal, single, term delivery followed.
