Preservation of ovarian functions in woman with premature ovarian failure remains an issue in reproductive medicine. Hormone replacement therapy for maintaining endocrine functions, and cryopreservation of embryos or oocytes for those who wish pregnancy, are some of the choices. However, ovarian transplantation is a more physiological alternative, although problems related to ovarian ischemia have been reported. Herein, we investigated the viability of autologous transplantation of the ovarian tissue into the rat peritoneum, without vascular reanastomosis. Twenty animals in the study group had both ovaries excised, and each ovary was dissected into two halves. A half of an ovary was autotransplanted to the peritoneal surface, closely located to the left epigastric vessels. This simple procedure does not require surgical vascular reanastomosis while it maintains appropriate follicular growth and therefore should be further considered as an alternative for women undergoing oophorectomy, not only to maintain endocrine functions but also for fertility preservation.

Object: Cerebral revascularization is an effective measure for dealing with complicated intracranial aneurysms and ischemic cerebro-vascular disease. Intra-operative thrombosis causing bypass occlusion is a severe issue that cause devastating consequences for complication in revascularization. We report our experiences regarding salvage maneuvers for intraoperative thrombosis in cerebral revascularization procedures and discuss the characteristics and culprits.

Background: The optimal sequence of microvascular clamping during free flap transfer is yet to be established. Many surgeons are reluctant to perform temporary declamping and subsequent reclamping during microvascular anastomosis; however, we generally anastomose the artery first and temporarily declamp it before performing venous anastomosis to confirm arterial patency and ensure proper alignment of the flap veins. Herein, we aimed to retrospectively investigate the efficacy and safety of this temporary revascularization method in 126 patients who underwent microvascular head and neck reconstruction.

Background And Objectives: STA-MCA bypass surgery is mainly used for Moyamoya disease, giant intracranial aneurysms, and resection of intracranial tumors requiring sacrifice of blood vessels. The intraoperative patency of the reconstructive vessels is critical to the efficacy of the procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intra-arterially infused tirofiban for the treatment of acute thrombosis during STA-MCA bypass surgery and countermeasures for acute thrombosis.
