Figure 1 Transplantation of strips of cortical ovarian tissue involves: (A) resecting the sterile recipient ovary down to the vascular medullary bed; (B) trimming the thin donor tissue to approximate the exposed recipient surface; and (C and D) suturing the tissue to the recipient to achieve tight apposition and avoid hematoma formation.

Figure 2 Serum FSH levels were elevated at the time of ovarian transplantation but fell to basal levels within 90–150 days, where they remained long term. All recipients resumed menses in 65–130 days.
