Ovarian transposition, relocating ovaries to the abdomen, preserves fertility in women undergoing pelvic radiation. Robotically assisted endoscopy offers a successful new approach for this vital procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Ovarian transposition relocates ovaries from the pelvis to the abdomen.
  • This procedure preserves ovarian function and fertility in women undergoing pelvic radiation therapy.
  • It is crucial for maintaining assisted reproductive capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and success of robotically assisted endoscopic ovarian transposition.
  • To demonstrate the application of the da Vinci surgical system for ovarian transposition.

Main Methods:

  • Ovarian transposition was performed using the da Vinci surgical system.
  • Ovaries were mobilized along the infundibulopelvic ligaments.
  • Ovaries were secured in the ipsilateral pericolic gutters.

Main Results:

  • Extensive laboratory training, including cadaveric and porcine models, was completed.
  • The da Vinci system facilitated successful robotically assisted endoscopic ovarian transposition.
  • The first clinical application of this technique was successfully performed.

Conclusions:

  • Robotically assisted endoscopy is a viable and successful method for ovarian transposition.
  • This technique offers a minimally invasive approach to preserve ovarian function and fertility.
