title: Aspiration of immature oocytes during cesarean section for fertility preservation and future surrogacy.
abstract: A 38-year-old pregnant patient with a history of renal transplantation sought embryo freezing for fertility preservation and future surrogacy. A cesarean section was performed with direct aspiration of small ovarian follicles. Thirteen identified oocyte-cumulus complexes were cultured. Intracytoplasmatic sperm injection was performed on all mature oocytes and the resulting 4 zygotes were cryopreserved.
