The first case in Italy in childbirth after transplantation of ovarian tissue occurred Sant'Anna Hospital in Turin. A girl of 29 years is the first woman in our country to have carried out a pregnancy due all'autotrapianto ovarian tissue that had been previously cryopreserved to preserve it from the effects of chemotherapy to which she had had to undergo.
This is an exceptional result achieved thanks to the work of a multidisciplinary team of the University Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the hospital in Turin, directed by Clare Benedict.
Cryopreservation was followed by the team led by prof. Alberto Revelli, while work under a laparoscopy was performed by prof. Gianluigi Marchino. The young patient was undergoing chemotherapy at the age of 21 years, necessitated by a transplant. a bone marrow transplantation for the treatment of a form of beta-thalassemia. Before being subjected to chemotherapy, surgeons had performed a series of multiple ovarian biopsies to avoid infertility that would certainly occurred later. The tissue samples was frozen and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 8 years.
After the transplant, the girl has entered menopause and began to take hormone replacement therapy with estrogen and progesterone, until in 2010 he requested thawing of the tissue to try to get pregnant, undergoing the first surgery of its kind in Italy. Now is the mother that the baby are doing well and are anxious to start a normal life together.
