GIFT /
Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer - IVF Thailand |
 |
|
|
GIFT is a procedure whereby the eggs are fertilized
within the women's fallopian tubes. Oocytes are
recovered by the laparoscopic technique. After
collection, the oocytes are mixed with prepared
husband's sperm and the mixture is taken into a fine
catheter and placed directly into the fallopian tube
where fertilization is most likely to occur. However
, if surplus oocytes remain after the GIFT procedure
, they will be inseminated in vitro and checked the
following day for signs of fertilization and also
can be frozen for future attempts. GIFT can be used
to treat couples with unexplained infertility ,
cervical mucus problem , pelvic endometriosis or
ovulatory disorder. GIFT is unsuitable for patients
with damaged fallopian tubes or very poor sperm
quality.
A disadvantage of GIFT is the uncertainty whether
fertilization has occurred or not. |
