• IN VITRO FERTILIZATION
– Refers to removing one or more of the mature
oocytes from a woman’s ovary by laparoscopy
and then fertilizing them by exposing them to
sperm under laboratory conditions outside the
woman’s body
• EMBRYO TRANSFER
– “Ova Transfer”
– The insertion of the laboratory-grown fetilized
ovum into the woman’s uterus approximately 40
hours after fertilization
• Indications
– Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
– Oligospermia
– Absence of cervical mucus
– Presence of antisperm antibodies
– Unexplained infertility
• Recovery rate for harvesting ripened
eggs: 90%
• Ability to fertilized eggs by sperm in
vitro: 90%
• Overall pregnancy rate: 20 – 30%
Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer
• Bothova and sperm are instilled within a
matter of hours using a laparoscopic
technique/ultrsound into the open end of a
patent fallopian tube.
• Contraindicated if the woman’s tubes are
blocked
Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer
• Fertilized eggs are transferred by
laparoscopic technique into the end of the
waiting fallopian tube.
• Contraindicated if the woman’s tubes are
blocked
Surrogate Embryo Transfer
• Assisted rerporducted technique for the
woman who does not ovulate
• Uses egg cell from a donor
Intravaginal Culture
• Uses the woman’s body as an incubator-
like device
• Ova are obtained from the woman and
placed with the sperm in a sterile,
hermetically sealed container of culture
medium
• Container is placed in woman’s vagina
