A review is presented summarizing the IVF-ET, GIFT and combined IVF-ET-GIFT experienced at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Since the building of an aseptic dust free laboratory next to the operation room, the clinical pregnancy rate has been 12.2% per embryo transfer in IVF-ET, 16.7% in the GIFT program and 30.0% in the combined IVF-GIFT program. The overall clinical pregnancy rate was 14.9%. The overall pregnancy rate appeared to be independent of the causes of infertility, be it tubal factor, endometriosis or unexplained infertility. It was lower in couples with male factor or combined factors. The different regimens for follicular stimulation were hMG-hCG, clomiphene-hMG-hCG and FSH-hMG-hCG. No one regimen showed a better pregnancy rate than the others. The methods of oocyte retrieval were laparascopy, laparotomy, transbladder ultrasound-guided, and transvaginal ultrasound-guided retrieval. There were 4.53 oocytes retrieved pertreatment cycle. The transvaginal ultrasoundguided oocyte retrieval has greatly simplified the procedures in the IVF-ET program. The patient selection was important not only for the indications but also for the methods of IVF-ET, GIET and combined IVF-GIFT.
