| Research Abstract |
Two hundred and thirty-fuor gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT) were performed on 185 patients with long-term infertility of various kinds of etiology. Their mean age was 33.8 and mean infertility period was 8.5 years.
The overall pregnancy rate was 20.9%(49/234), 30.0%(6/20)for impaired tubal sperm transport, 24.1%(27/112)for post tuboplasty, 20.0%(10/50) for endometriosis, 12.2%(5/41) for male factor, and 9.1%(1/11) for unexplained infertility. Seven sets of twin pregnancy were observed. Sixteen patients (32.7%) ended in abortion, and 3 ectopic pregnancy (6.1%) did occur.
These results indicate that the GIGT technique is useful for the treatment of long-term infertility, including the patients with tubal factor, when at least one fallopian tube is patent and fimbria is accessible.
