Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Ovarian cortical tissue freezing and transplantation, although considered experimental, is an established method of fertility preservation in reproductive age women at risk of losing their fertility. The number of live births following autotransplantation of the frozen-thawed ovarian tissue increased significantly worldwide during the last 15 years, exceeding 130 cumulative live births in 2017. This chapter focuses on the technique of ovarian transplantation, with special emphasis on in vitro maturation and artificial ovary.
