The present report examines retrospectively the success rates of both in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) in relation to the underlying infertility disorder. Reduced fertilization ra…

A study was undertaken comparing the outcomes of 30 women with infertility due to untreated severe (grade IV) pelvic endometriosis with a comparable series of 28 women whose infertility was caused solely by irreversible tubal disease. There…

A total of 345 couples with non-tubal infertility on an IVF waiting list underwent 702 treatment cycles involving daily intrauterine inseminations of husband's washed spermatozoa (AIH) over 3 days of the periovulatory period, following ovar…

Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) was applied in 207 treatment cycles in 73 couples. The pregnancy rate in cycles with only one (2/21, 9.5%) or two (2/29, 6.9%) oocytes transferred was significantly less than that in which four oocytes …

In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) was performed on women with tubal disease only (28 women, 40 cycles), endometriosis grade I (15 women, 24 cycles), grade II (25 women, 37 cycles), grade III (26 women, 36 cycles), or grade…

The fertilization rates of mature preovulatory oocytes aspirated from 156 women treated by in vitro fertilization were analyzed as a function of spermatozoal density and motility and the findings were correlated with the category of inferti…
