'''Zygote intra fallopian transfer''' ('''ZIFT''') is an [[infertility treatment]] used when a blockage in the [[fallopian tube]]s prevents the normal binding of sperm to the egg. [[Egg cells]] are removed from a woman's [[ovaries]], and [[in vitro fertilisation|in vitro fertilised]]. The resulting [[zygote]] is placed into the [[fallopian tube]] by the use of [[laparoscopy]]. The procedure is a spin-off of the [[gamete intrafallopian transfer]] (GIFT) procedure. The pregnancy and implantation rates in ZIFT cycles are 52.3 and 23.2% which were higher than what was observed in IVF cycles which were 17.5 and 9.7%.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Boldt|first1=J.|last2=Schnarr|first2=P.|last3=Ajamie|first3=A.|last4=Ketner|first4=J.|last5=Bonaventura|first5=L.|last6=Colver|first6=R.|last7=Reuter|first7=L.|last8=Jarrett|first8=J.|date=November 1996|title=Success rates following intracytoplasmic sperm injection are improved by using ZIFT vs IVF for embryo transfer|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8986589/|journal=Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics|volume=13|issue=10|pages=782–785|doi=10.1007/BF02066498|issn=1058-0468|pmid=8986589|s2cid=12930938}}</ref>
