Abstract
In 1986 we reported the first successful replacement of three zygotes in the fimbrial end of one healthy fallopian tube in a patient with female sperm antibodies.1 More pregnancies have been established, especially in male and unexplained infertility.2–5 The results of zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) in different indications i.e. unexplained, male infertility, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) and female sperm antibodies were analyzed.
