Vascular pedicle transposition of an ovary with subsequent intrauterine pregnancy

Laparoscopic ovarian transposition with subsequent intrauterine pregnancy

A woman with a 3-year history of infertility underwent laparoscopic transposition of the ovary. This was followed immediately by a normal pregnancy.

Ovarian transposition with subsequent intrauterine pregnancy

A 28-year-old married, Korean woman was diagnosed with a right unicornuate uterus, a left hypoplastic tube, and a right ovarian necrotic corpus luteal cyst. We performed a right oophorectomy and an excision of the left hypoplastic tube and then transferred the left ovary to the right broad ligament with intact vascular pedicles. Thus the remaining left ovary and right fallopian tube were placed in proximity. The patient conceived 2 months after the operation and delivered a living male infant.
