The Benefits of Tubal Transfer Procedures

  • Chapter

Abstract

The PIVET IVF program was established following a successful pilot study in 1980/ 81 but despite increasing experience the annual results failed to improve after reaching a peak in 1984 when the overall pregnancy rate was around 17% and birth rate around 10% of cycles reaching the stage of oocyte retrieval. In fact, a number ofindependent reports from around the world published in die past year1–4 indicated that the live birth rate from IVF procedures was only 9%–10% of retrieval cycles to 1986/7.
