  • A procedure to collect the eggs contained in the ovarian follicles. (cdc.gov)
Ovary6

  • Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a method of maintaining fertility in which the outer layer of an ovary, which contains a large number of young eggs, is removed and frozen for future use. (fertilitycrete.gr)
  • In the process of freezing the ovarian tissue, a portion of an ovary is usually removed by laparoscopy. (fertilitycrete.gr)
  • In the laboratory, the outer layer of the ovary (called the ovarian cortex) is cut into small strips and is frozen. (fertilitycrete.gr)
  • The stored ovarian tissue can be transplanted orthotopically (in the rest of the ovary, ovarian cortex or in the wider joint), heterotopically (subcutaneous abdominal tissue, anterior abdominal wall, just below the peritoneum or rectum), recent studies have been reported to fully mature in vitro. (fertilitycrete.gr)
