Ovarian transposition

Ovarian transposition is a surgical procedure that moves the ovaries out of the pelvis, usually to a higher position in the abdomen, to protect them from damage during pelvic radiation therapy. This procedure helps preserve ovarian function and maintain hormonal balance and potential fertility after cancer treatment. The ovaries are carefully detached and repositioned, then secured in their new location, where they’re less likely to be affected by radiation. It’s a collaborative effort between a surgeon and oncologist to help minimize the side effects of cancer treatments on reproductive health.
