Abstract
Several treatments for infertility have been promoted with only little supporting objective data demonstrating their therapeutic value. The choice of an assisted reproductive technique depends on a balance between numerous factors. Seldom is the choice absolute as in patients with tubal block. There is conflicting evidence on the efficacy of simpler methods such as ovarian stimulation with or without artificial insemination and the available data suggest that the more invasive methods such as gamete intra-Fallopian transfer or in-vitro fertilization are more effective in the treatment of couples with unexplained infertility. Equally, there is no conclusive evidence that pregnancy rates with any of the invasive techniques are superior to any others. However, a higher implantation rate following tubal embryo transfers is observed in many studies. This review presents a critical assessment of the effectiveness of assisted reproductive techniques.
