Abstract

A comparison of results of GIFT procedures using unilateral and bilateral tubal cannulation was made. There was no difference in outcome between these two methods, with the unilateral approach having some advantages over the bilateral procedure. Pregnancy rates decreased as the number of oocytes transferred was reduced.

Abstract

Tubal pregnancy can be safely and effectively managed by MTX or CO2 laparoscopic salpingotomy techniques. Methotrexate may be superior because of its simplicity, requiring only basic laparoscopic skills, whereas laparoscopic salpingotomy necessitates operative laparoscopic input.

Abstract

Pregnancy occurred in 8 of 14 patients with the unilateral transfer of three or four oocytes at GIFT procedures. These results suggest that unilateral GIFT may be at least as successful as the bilateral approach. It would appear that unilateral GIFT rather than in vitro fertilization should be used for patients with one normal fallopian tube, and if the pregnancy rates with unilateral GIFT are substantiated, then this would be preferable to the bilateral approach, as operating time is shorter and there is less risk of trauma to the fallopian tubes at the time of gamete transfer.
