Ovarian cortex vitrification and transplantation offers a successful fertility preservation method. This technique has shown high rates of ovulation recovery and spontaneous pregnancy in women undergoing fertility treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Oncology
  • Gynaecology

Background:

  • Fertility preservation is crucial for cancer patients and women delaying childbearing.
  • Ovarian freezing and transplantation are emerging as viable options.
  • Understanding follicle recruitment mechanisms is key to improving outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail techniques for ovarian cortex vitrification.
  • To compare outcomes of frozen versus fresh ovarian cortex transplantation.
  • To provide insights into ovarian follicle recruitment.

Main Methods:

  • Vitrification of ovarian cortex tissue.
  • Ovarian cortex transplantation (frozen vs. fresh).
  • Monitoring ovulation and pregnancy rates.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • All cases achieved ovulation recovery post-transplantation.
  • 75% of cases resulted in spontaneous pregnancies.
  • Favorable outcomes demonstrated for frozen ovarian cortex transplantation.

Conclusions:

  • Ovarian cortex vitrification and transplantation are effective fertility preservation strategies.
  • The procedure supports successful ovulation and pregnancy.
  • This review simplifies and popularizes a proven approach.
