Guidance
Evidence-based recommendations on removal, preservation and subsequent reimplantation of ovarian tissue to prevent symptoms from the menopause. This involves removing a small piece of ovarian tissue using keyhole surgery, freezing and storing it. After menopause starts, the tissue is thawed and transplanted under the skin of the armpit, abdomen or forearm, with the aim of producing oestrogen.
