Cryopreservation of whole ovaries followed by vascular transplantation may improve long-term function in comparison to conventional cryopreservation of ovarian cortex and avascular transplantation. The aim of this study was to assess methods for the evaluation of viability and function of frozen-thawed whole ovaries.
