What are the similarities and differences between ZIFT and in vitro fertilization (IVF)?
• ZIFT and IVF both tend to be a favorable treatment for women who have more severe infertility concerns, such as damaged fallopian tubes. • ZIFT and IVF both involve embryo culture. • ZIFT and IVF both provide the physician with the opportunity to select only the best quality embryos for transfer. • ZIFT transfers the fertilized embryo into the fallopian tube whereas the IVF and embryo transfer procedure places the fertilized embryo into the uterus. • The ZIFT procedure differs from IVF in that the transfer of embryos into the tube requires an extra surgical procedure called a laparoscopy.
