Hormonal activity of transposed ovaries in young women treated for cervical cancer.

The purpose of this study was to assess the hormonal function of transposed ovaries in young women treated for cervical cancer. Between 1992 and 1998, in the Silesian Medical Academy in Bytom, 101 women underwent radical hysterectomy with ovarian transposition by the Wertheim-Meigs method. Concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, estradiol and testosterone in blood serum and cytologic indices (maturation index, karyopyknotic index and maturation value) were assessed before surgery and on the ninth day after surgery.

[Carcinoma of the vulva in women: clinical and morphopathological problems].
