title: [Ovarian grafts and transplantations in women: current status].
abstract: Ovarian grafts and transplants were performed at the end of the last century to prevent the side effects of bilateral ovariectomy or of the menopause. Fundamental studies (until around 1935) showed that autografts were possible with poor results while allografts were associated with bad results. This was followed by a long period during which these techniques were abandoned. Thanks to recent progress in organ storage, microsurgery and the "management" of grafts in general, it is reasonable to hope for new advances in the area of ovarian grafting and transplantation.
