A history of sorts was created on March 5, 2002 with the first whole ovary transplant being performed in china at the Zhejiang university medical school on a 34 year old woman who had to have her own ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed after she developed ovarian cancer. Following this she went into premature menopause but hormone replacement therapy (HRT) failed to relieve her menopausal symptoms. Since she also desired to have children an ovarian transplant, with her sister being the donor, was considered. The sister was “a near-perfect tissue match.” And so, the woman received an ovary, together with its Fallopian tube from her younger sister. The transplanted ovary is producing hormones and theoretically, the woman will be able to conceive naturally, although any child will genetically be her sister’s not her’s. A word of caution- transplanting an ovary simply to restore hormonal levels post menopause is not recommended, in the perspective of discomfort, the risk of graft rejection and the danger of the surgery itself.
