title: [Initial experiences with intra-tubal gamete transfer (GIFT)].
abstract: A gamete intra-fallopian transfer was performed in 13 women. In all these patients the ovulation was stimulated according to our IVF programme. For the transfer procedure we used culture medium in eight cases. This medium was replaced by follicular fluid in five other cases. Altogether the GIFT resulted in seven pregnancies, two in the culture medium group and five in the follicular fluid group. The advantages of the follicular fluid as transfer medium are discussed.
