title: Transcervical tubal transfer of gametes and embryos.
abstract: The benefit of intrafallopian transfer techniques is still disputable in assisted reproductive techniques. On this background, alternatives to laparoscopic transfer procedures are in development. Current transcervical intrafallopian transfers of gametes and embryos are lacking success and reproducibility of results. New developments in catheter techniques and optical systems are offering new concepts for more successful transcervical approaches and preparing the basis for truly prospective studies.
