ZIFT

Modified form of in vitro fertilization in which the fertilized ovum is reintroduced into the mother's Fallopian tube before the ovum has undergone its first cell division. This mimics the natural processes of fertilization (which normally occurs in the Fallopian tube) and implantation more effectively than older techniques.

IVF has become so successful in the past few years; it has replaced other assisted reproductive techniques like GIFT (gamete intra-fallopian tube transfer) and ZIFT (zygote intra-fallopian tube transfer).
In the early 1990s, for example, clinics were trumpeting an alphabet soup of new techniques, with names like GIFT, for gamete intra-fallopian transfer, and ZIFT, for zygote intra-fallopian transfer.
