Laparoscopic Ovarian Transposition with Potential Preservation of Natural Fertility

2010 
Radiotherapy doses greater than 6 Gy lead to irreversible ovarian damage by reducing the number of primordial follicles [1]. Ovarian transposition preserves fertility potential and prevents premature menopause in 83% to 88.6% of patients undergoing pelvic irradiation [2,3]. In contrast to conventional ovarian transposition with hysterectomy, this technique mobilizes the fallopian tube and ovary without tubal transection (Fig. 1).
