Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the recovery rate and spontaneous in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocytes enclosed within or released from follicles during the processing of ovarian tissue prior to its cryopreservation.

Methods

Thirty-three oncologic patients who had not previously undergone chemo or radiotherapy underwent ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) during natural menstrual cycles. Immature oocytes, enclosed within follicles or released during ovarian cortex processing, were collected and matured spontaneously in vitro for 48 h. Nuclear maturation was assessed every 24 h and the ability of the IVM oocytes to display a normal activation response following parthenogenetic activation was evaluated. The following outcome measures were also evaluated: disease, age, FSH, LH, E2, P4 and AMH serum levels, menstrual cycle day, recovery and spontaneous IVM and parthenogenetic activation rates.

Results

Oocytes recovered per patient were 3.3 ± 0.7 (1.8–4.7 oocytes, 95CI), regardless of the menstrual phase. The mean number of IVM oocytes per patient was 1.3 ± 0.2 oocytes (95CI: 0.8–1.8), regardless of menstrual phase (p = 0.86) and oocyte origin (p = 0.61). Forty-one percent of oocytes extruded the second polar body and formed one pronucleus after parthenogenetic activation.

Conclusion

Twenty-one of the 33 women (63.6 %) requesting OTC produced at least one mature oocyte.

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
