ABSTRACT
Studies performed on laboratory animals proved the feasibility of cryopreservation and transplantation of ovarian tissue.1,2 In this chapter, we will discuss the experience from sheep autograft and human ovarian xenograft models, and we will present our preliminary findings on the application of this technology in humans. For the first time, ovarian function after human ovarian transplantation will be reported. We will also illustrate the practical points on ovarian tissue cryopreservation, which may enhance the survival of primordial follicles and aid in the success of ovarian transplantation.
