Abstract

Since the birth in 1978 of the first child conceived by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF/ET),1 the technologies that may be used to treat infertility have expanded rapidly. Each new procedure has been developed as a more efficient treatment for specific disorders.2 The classic gamete intrafallopian tube transfer (GIFT) procedure was seen as an advantage over IVF, as it provided a more natural and physiologic environment for fertilization. However, GIFT did require laparoscopy and general anesthesia, which were neither natural nor physiologic. In contrast to the classic GIFT procedure, transcervical tubal canalization is one of the latest developments in the continuing refinement and simplification of assisted reproductive technology (ART).
