Histological analysis of (antral) follicle density in ovarian cortex tissue attached to stripped endometriomas

ConclusionsOvarian tissue attached to stripped endometriomas holds potential as a non-invasive source for antral follicles. In theory, application of IVM could be an interesting alternative FP option in young patients with endometriomas who undergo cystectomy in order to transform the surgical collateral damage to a potential oocyte source. Our results encourage future research with fresh tissue to further assess the quality and potential of these follicles.Trial registrationClinical Trials.gov Identifier: B21.055 (METC LDD), date of registration 12 –08-2021, retrospectively registered.
