In vitro maturation, fertilization and embryo culture of oocytes obtained from vitrified auto-transplanted mouse ovary.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vitro survival and developmental potential of oocytes obtained from vitrified mouse ovaries transplanted to a heterotopic site.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, two-week-old mice were unilaterally ovariectomized after anesthesia. The ovaries were vitrified by cryotop.

Heterotopic autotransplantation of vitrified mouse ovary.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the survival and development of premature follicles and oocytes from a vitrified-transplanted ovary in a murine experimental model.

Methods: The 14-day-old mice were unilaterally ovariectomized and the separated ovaries were vitrified by cryotop. After 2 weeks the ovaries were warmed and autotransplanted into the gluteus superfiscialis muscle.
