What is ovarian tissue cryopreservation
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a fertility preservation option where a small piece of ovarian tissue, containing immature eggs, is surgically removed (keyhole surgery) and frozen. This can be useful for young women when egg freezing isn’t feasible. Currently, using this tissue requires a second surgery to transplant it back into the body.
