Gamete intrafallopian transfer: A preliminary experience

I N Hinduja et al. Natl Med J India. 1991 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Background: After in vitro fertilizationand embryo transfer for tubal infertility, gamete intrafallopian transfer has been introduced for patients with non-tubal infertility. However, the gametes need to be transferred in 2 to 5 minutes and the distance between the operating theatre and tissue culture laboratory delayed its introduction at our hospital.

Methods and patients: To overcome this problem we designed a box in which gametes could be stored. Using gametes taken from this box and employing the standard technique, we achieved 5 pregnancies in 39 infertile women.

Results: From 41 treatment cycles, 39 women underwent oocyte retrieval. Five pregnancies were achieved of which 4 delivered live births at full term and 1 ended in abortion. Our first gamete intrafallopian transfer baby was born on 6 January 1988.

Conclusion: The gamete intrafallopian transfer technique can be successfullyadapted for India.
