Gamete intrafallopian transfer.
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is a form of assisted reproduction which may be used as an alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF) in certain circumstances. It is undertaken as a single day-case episode and requires less embryological expertise than IVF. GIFT has been successfully carried out in a number of district general hospitals. The details of the procedure as presently undertaken in Wigan are described.
