To compare surgical outcomes of oncologic patients that underwent conventional laparoscopy and percutaneous laparoscopy for cryopreservation of ovarian tissue.
This is a retrospective analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous laparoscopy for the ovarian tissue explant in oncologic women.
