This study describes the technique and results of a new approach for the hysteroscopic catheterization of the Fallopian tube in order to transfer gametes (hysteroscopic GIFT). Ovarian stimulation was started on 51 patients. Three cycles were cancelled because of a failure of ovarian response. Forty-eight patients underwent hysteroscopic GIFT utilizing a technique completely different, easier, faster and more precise than that previously reported. Fourteen pregnancies were achieved (29.2%) of which five are ongoing, six patients have delivered and three have aborted. No ectopic pregnancies were observed.

Key words: gamete intra-Fallopian transfer/hysteroscopy/new transfer technique
