Objective:
To evaluate a technique of lateral ovarian transposition by laparoscopy.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
Tertiary care center.
Patient(S):
A 34-year-old woman with rectal carcinoma.
Intervention(S):
Laparoscopic ovarian transposition.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Return of normal menstruation after irradiation.
Result(S):
Lateral ovarian transposition could be done by laparoscopy. However, division of the ovarian ligament was needed. The location of the ovaries after surgery was outside the radiation field.
Conclusion(S):
Lateral ovarian transposition can be done by laparoscopy. Contrary to a previous report, division of the ovarian ligament is required.
