Showing Ovarian Cortex Freezing

Traveling From Canada

Ovarian cortex freezing (also known as ovarian tissue cryopreservation). For women with certain types of cancer (breast, lymphomas, etc.), chemotherapy is detrimental to ovarian functions. If these women would like to get pregnant in the future, part of the ovaries can be removed and frozen laparoscopic ally. The outer layer of the ovary contains numerous eggs, which can be frozen and used for ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) procedures in the future. This new technique seems very promising and is available at very select clinics around the world. This procedure can also be used by women who wish to delay childbearing and save her eggs.
