Laparoscopic ovarian suspension before irradiation.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate a technique of lateral ovarian transposition by laparoscopy.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
Tertiary care center.


METHODS
A 34-year-old woman with rectal carcinoma.


METHODS
Laparoscopic ovarian transposition.


METHODS
Return of normal menstruation after irradiation.


RESULTS
Lateral ovarian transposition could be done by laparoscopy. However, division of the ovarian ligament was needed. The location of the ovaries after surgery was outside the radiation field.


CONCLUSIONS
Lateral ovarian transposition can be done by laparoscopy. Contrary to a previous report, division of the ovarian ligament is required.
