[Heterotopic autotransplantation of the ovary in women].
Treatment of subdiaphragmatic Hodgkin's diseases with combined radio- and chemotherapy results in castration of more than 80% of the women treated, despite oophoropexy. We suggest a new technique of subcutaneous ovarian grafting which provides full protection against irradiation and preserves both ovarian function and fertility. To be successful this technique requires the creation, prior to grafting, of a receptive cavity, two surgical teams working together, and the use of an operative microscope during transplantation. A mature oocyte was collected by puncture of the ovary-containing cavity one year after the operation.
