From 1 May 1984 to 30 April 1985 177 laparoscopies were performed; 684 oocytes were obtained and a fertilization rate of 85% per oocyte achieved. There was a pregnancy rate of 24.3% per embryo transfer (ET) and 20.9% per laparoscopy after 152 patients were subjected to ET. The ET technique at Tygerberg Hospital, using the Tomcat catheter, is described. An introducer--the FT introducer--designed to overcome technical difficulties in selected patients in passing the Tomcat catheter is described. Technical problems are easily overcome with this introducer. In 26 patients (17.1%) ET was performed using this instrument and 8 pregnancies resulted (a pregnancy rate of 30.7% per ET). This pregnancy rate indicates the value of the instrument.
1984年5月1日至1985年4月30日期间，共进行了177例腹腔镜检查；获取了684个卵母细胞，每个卵母细胞的受精率达到85%。在152例患者接受胚胎移植（ET）后，每次胚胎移植的妊娠率为24.3%，每次腹腔镜检查的妊娠率为20.9%。本文描述了泰格堡医院使用Tomcat导管的胚胎移植技术。还介绍了一种导引器——FT导引器，其设计目的是克服部分患者在插入Tomcat导管时遇到的技术难题。使用这种导引器很容易克服技术问题。26例患者（17.1%）使用该器械进行了胚胎移植，结果有8例妊娠（每次胚胎移植的妊娠率为30.7%）。这一妊娠率表明了该器械的价值。
