摘要

OBJECTIVE: To show that ovarian transplantation is a promising strategy for preserving fertility in young women and children who have cryopreserved tissue before undergoing potentially sterilizing treatment for cancer and other conditions. CONCLUSION: Credit for the first transplants is because of a forgotten pioneer, Robert Morris of New York, who was an innovative surgeon as well as a model clinical investigator over a century ago.
