Assisted Reproductive Technology
ART Types
  • IVF (in vitro fertilization) involves extracting a woman's eggs, fertilizing the eggs in the laboratory, and then transferring the resulting embryo(s) into the woman's uterus through the cervix.

  • GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer) involves using a fiber-optic instrument called a laparoscope to guide the transfer of unfertilized eggs and sperm (gametes) into the woman's fallopian tubes through small incisions in her abdomen.

  • ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer) involves fertilizing a woman's eggs in the laboratory and then using a laparoscope to guide the transfer of the fertilized eggs (zygotes) into her fallopian tubes.

  • ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg; the embryos are then cultured and transferred as in standard IVF.
