August 13, 2019 updated by: Estil Strawn, Medical College of Wisconsin

Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation As A Means Of Preserving Ovarian Function in Females Undergoing Therapeutic Procedures That Will Potentially Lead To The Irreversible Loss of Ovarian Function

The purpose of this study is to retrieve and cryopreserve ovarian tissue from females undergoing a treatment that may lead to irreversible loss of ovarian function.

Detailed Description

The aim of this preliminary study is to retrieve and properly cryopreserve ovarian tissue for autotransplantation in any premenopausal female whose ovarian function is threatened in a physiological, pathological or iatrogenic manner in an effort to observe the return of ovarian endocrine function and development of egg(s) appropriate for use in in vitro fertilization.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Retrieval and Cryopreservation
Females undergoing therapeutic procedures that will potentially lead to the irreversible loss of ovarian function will have their ovarian tissue retrieved and cryopreserved. Ideally, after treatment, the cryopreserved ovarian tissue can be thawed and auto-transplanted and ovarian function resumed.
Procedure: Retrieval and Cryopreservation
