Abstract
Initially GIFT was introduced as a treatment for unexplained infertility. However, it was soon applied to other causes of infertility when at least one healthy tube was present. The multicenter study on results after GIFT, in which we participated, showed an overall pregnancy rate of 29%, but only 15% in cases of male factor infertility (Table 1). Our own data at the National University of Singapore were similar with an overall pregnancy rate of 25% but only 17% in the male factor group (Table 2).
