Abstract

To describe a technique for frozen-banked ovarian tissue transplantation using robotic-assisted laparoscopy. Case study. Academic tertiary care center. A 38-year-old patient in remission for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, whose ovarian tissue had been frozen for 3 years. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic transplantation of thawed ovarian cortical tissue to the remaining ovary and peritoneum. Resumption of spontaneous menses, follicular development, and ovulation as demonstrated by ultrasound, and serum E(2) and P levels. The patient experienced cyclic spontaneous menstruation 6 months after the transplantation. Ovulation was confirmed by ultrasound and serum E(2) and P levels at month 11 after surgery. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery may be a good, minimally invasive alternative for the ovarian tissue transplantation procedure to restore ovarian function.
