Résumé
Embryo transfer is the final and rate-limiting step of the assisted reproductive technique. Few advances have occurred in the last few decades with regard to this procedure. Studies conducted thus far have focused on factors and interventions taking place before, during and after this procedure. These factors are highly varied and range from methods to improve the psychological state of the patients to methods aimed at reducing uterine contractility and methods aimed at optimising the precise transfer of the embryo. The key question is which factors and interventions have thus far been proven to increase pregnancy rates and live birth rates. This paper aims to review the evidence relating to embryo transfer techniques in a systematic manner with a view to provide practical recommendations to practitioners involved in the procedure.
