title: [In vitro fertilization program in therapy of the sterile marriage. International status and personal experiences].
abstract: A review is given about in vitro fertilization (IVF/ET) and embryo transfer in the treatment of sterile couples. Programmes of in vitro fertilization of successful international groups are analysed and discussed, especially the improvements of the method. These international reports were the basis of the programme of in vitro fertilization at women's hospital of the Wilhelm Pieck University at Rostock. The organization of the programme depends on local conditions. Treatment is performed in some so-called IVF-series. The results of the first and second series with 52 patients are reported. The only pregnancy during the second series was an ectopic pregnancy.
