Abstract
Embryo transfer (ET) is considered as a critical step in the process of in vitro fertilization. Interestingly, studies have consistently shown significant outcome differences between physicians. Although the outcome of ET is not related to the physician's experience and specifically not different between fellows and attending physicians, certain techniques have been found to affect the success rate. This review summarizes the existing evidence regarding the impact of the individual physician performing ET and the techniques used.
