Principles and Practice of Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Transplantation
About This Book
Principles and Practice of Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Transplantation provides methods and techniques of ovarian tissue harvesting and cryopreservation, including instructional videos. This book will benefit a wide audience, guiding infertility specialists, fellows, residents, reproductive surgeons, reproductive endocrinologists, pediatric surgeons, embryologists, infertility nurses and gynecologists. Ovarian cryopreservation and transplantation is rapidly gaining acceptance as a successful and established fertility preservation strategy in cancer patients and beyond. Unlike other fertility preservation strategies, it can be performed in children as well as adults, and can be helpful in restoring natural ovarian function and fertility, hence this is a welcomed resource on the topic.
- Provides links to instructional videos, materials and an equipment list for ovarian tissue harvesting and cryopreservation, along with protocols for ovarian tissue cryopreservation thawing and transplantation
- Presents instructional video coverage of ovarian tissue cryopreservation for use at fertility centers around the globe
- Fulfills a specific niche in the literature, providing a comprehensive reference on ovarian tissue freezing and transplantation
- Includes a foreword written by a cancer survivor who successfully received this procedure
