Conclusion
Although more data are needed and it is still too early for a definitive conclusion, GIFT can probably offer new perspectives not only in the treatment of unexplained infertility but also in cases of persistent infertility in patients with LUF (luteinzed unruptured follicle) or a mild degree of endometriosis or when no conception occurs after surgical correction of endometriosis.
Only further prospective studies will help us to determine the indications for GIFT.
