The success of this procedure ultimately determines the success of the fertility treatment. There are various synonyms for embryo transfer, such as embryo implantation, embryo injection, and embryo transplantation. These synonyms are commonly used interchangeably within the medical fraternity. Each of these synonyms describes a similar process that involves the transfer of embryos to a conducive environment to promote reproductive growth. Regardless of the synonyms used, the procedure involves careful planning, medical expertise and attention to detail to improve the success rate of the embryo transfer.
