title: The effect of unilateral versus bilateral tubal cannulation and the number of oocytes transferred on the outcome of gamete intrafallopian transfer.
abstract: A comparison of results of GIFT procedures using unilateral and bilateral tubal cannulation was made. There was no difference in outcome between these two methods, with the unilateral approach having some advantages over the bilateral procedure. Pregnancy rates decreased as the number of oocytes transferred was reduced.
