ABSTRACT
The outcome of a series of 115 patients undergoing GIFT by minilaparotomy is described, their duration of infertility ranging between 3 and 19 years. Ovarian stimulation was carried out using clomiphene from day 3 and HMG from day 6, and HCG was used to induce follicular maturation. A maximum of four oocytes, two per oviduct with 100,000 spermatozoa, were replaced. Thirty-six pregnancies were established. The highest incidence of pregnancy was obtained in cases of unexplained infertility (42%) and endometriosis (28%), and the lowest with male factors (13%). The most mature oocytes gave the best results. There were eleven miscarriages (30.5%) and two ectopic pregnancies (5.5%). Eleven of the 23 deliveries involved multiple births.
