Abstract

From January 1985 to December 1985 we have performed 83 GIFTS for various indications such as unexplained infertility, immunological problems, endometriosis, male factor, fimbrial pathology. In 82 women out of 83, oocytes and sperm have been transferred and 31 pregnancies (37.8%) have been obtained. Twelve women have delivered 17 babies; 11 pregnancies are ongoing, 7 have been interrupted by an abortion and 1 by a tubal pregnancy. The present and future roles of GIFT in the treatment of infertility is discussed.
