Clinical Overview

• Ovarian Transposition (Oophoropexy) is a surgical fertility-preservation strategy performed in women of reproductive age who are scheduled to receive pelvic or para-aortic radiation therapy for malignancies such as cervical cancer, rectal cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, or other pelvic tumours.
• The procedure involves mobilising the ovary on its vascular pedicle — preserving the infundibulopelvic ligament and utero-ovarian ligament blood supply — and anchoring it to the paracolic gutter, the iliac fossa, or above the iliac crest, well outside the anticipated radiation field (typically >3 cm from the field border).
• Titanium or absorbable surgical clips are placed to mark the transposed ovary, enabling radiologists to exclude it during treatment planning on CT simulation.

Treatment Options & Approaches

• STANDARD LAPAROSCOPIC OOPHOROPEXY (GOLD STANDARD) The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia via a 3- to 4-port laparoscopic approach.
• The surgeon identifies the ovary and fallopian tube, dissects the infundibulopelvic ligament to mobilise the ovarian pedicle while preserving the utero-ovarian blood supply, and divides the round ligament and utero-ovarian ligament as needed to gain sufficient pedicle length (typically 8–12 cm of mobilisation required).
• The ovary is tunnelled retroperitoneally or intraperitoneally and sutured with non-absorbable monofilament (e.g., Prolene 2-0) or absorbable sutures (PDS 2-0) to the peritoneum overlying the paracolic gutter or the anterior abdominal wall, lateral to and above the anterior superior iliac spine.
