Abstract

Cryopreserved ovarian cortex tissue can be used to improve or restore female fertility. It can be used for cancer patients to restore fertility after chemotherapy treatment or for social reasons for women who want to postpone their pregnancy wish. In order to preserve ovarian tissue viability in these cases, the tissue needs to be stored by cryopreservation. In this chapter we describe the entire process chain needed to prepare, transport, and cryopreserve human ovarian cortex tissues as well as to subsequently thaw and implant it.
