What is gamete intrafallopian transfer?
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is an ART procedure in which the egg and sperm (gametes) are placed together within the fallopian tubes. GIFT requires prior, hormone-induced “super stimulation” of the woman’s ovaries to produce mature eggs. The eggs then are retrieved from the woman by laparotomy, a surgical incision through the abdomen. After a number of mature eggs have been collected, they are combined with sperm which has been treated to concentrate the most healthy and active cells. Finally, the gametes are transferred back into the fallopian tubes, where fertilization should take place. Any embryos that result from this procedure will naturally descend into the uterus for implantation. [Back to Top] What is electroejaculation? Electroejaculation – ejaculation that is stimulated by an electrode – is a successful form of therapy for men who have normal testes but who cannot emit semen or ejaculate because of a fault in the sympathetic nervous system.
