One of the effective methods of fertility preservation is an autologous transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue. Currently, according to the world literature, after orthotopic autotransplantation of ovarian tissue 37 healthy children were born. In 2014 at the North-West Federal Medical Research Center it was established Cryobank of ovarian tissue, which is now kept 50 samples of ovarian tissue of man. Cryoconservation is performed by standard slow freezing. Autotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue has unique advantages over other methods of fertility preservation. This method does not lead to the postponement of anticancer therapy, safe for hormone-dependent cancer and can be performed regardless of the day of menstrual cycle and it is the only option for fertility preservation in prepubertal girls. The use of this method in clinical practice leads to restoration of endocrine function of the ovaries as well as of fertility in the future.
