Is there a role for gamete intra-fallopian transfer and other tubal insemination procedures?

In-vitro fertilization pregnancy rates have risen dramatically over the past decade. Consequently, fewer patients are currently undergoing gamete intra-fallopian transfer and zygote intra-fallopian transfer. This review identifies which patients may still benefit from tubal transfer procedures. Additionally, recent modifications in intrauterine insemination techniques may significantly raise pregnancy rates.
