Side effects?????? It's the main effect that people are after, which is fertility. Specially with Oncology patients. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation methods are quite successful. Even at the very beginning the Germans reported more than 30% live births. This figure was later increased to around 40%.
More than 80% of the patients results in the restoration of reproductive and endocrine function after the transplantation. The mean length of ovarian function after transplantation is about 2 to 5 years on average and some have even reported conceiving after 6 years.
There could be some risks with the surgical procedure itself and minimization of this is done by robot-assisted laparoscopy methods.
