The role of cryopreservation for women prior to treatment of malignancy

Jacques Donnez et al. Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol. 2005 Aug.

Abstract

Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to investigate recent advances in xenografting, as well as in orthotopic and heterotopic autotransplantation of human cryopreserved ovarian tissue.

Recent findings: The first livebirth after orthotopic transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue was reported recently. We discuss this case and other cases of reimplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue, bearing in mind that many questions remain.

Summary: Finally, we report the latest developments in research on the transplantation of an intact ovary and the reimplantation of isolated follicles.
