Interventions

PROCEDUREOvarian tissue freezing and subsequent auto-transplantation after thawing

Removal of the ovarian tissue will be retrieved via laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. The ovarian cortical tissue obtained will be transferred on ice to the laboratory for cryopreservation. After medical treatment, if the patient would like to start a family but has experienced premature ovarian failure, she will have ovarian tissue auto-transplantation after thawing.
