How can we improve
the chances of embryo implantation ? What can we
do to try to enhance the chances of an embryo becoming a
baby ? One option is called ZIFT - zygote intrafallopian
transfer, or tubal embryo transfer, in which we
transfer the embryos directly into the fallopian tube.
Since the fallopian tube is a far better place for a Day
1 or Day 2 embryo to be ( as compared to the IVF lab
incubator or the uterus ! ), the pregnancy rates with
ZIFT are higher than with IVF. However, it does require
access to an Operating Theater; and also a surgeon who
has the skill and expertise to do this procedure. Very
few IVF clinics in the world have the technical ability
to be able to offer this advanced technique. In this
video, you can watch how deftly and quickly Dr Anjali
transfers the embryos into the fallopian tube for a ZIFT.
