Popis: One of the treatments of malignancy of low genital tract is local pelvic radiation. However, in premenopausal it is associated with premature ovarian failure. Ovarian transposition is a technique to avoid radiation damage to the ovaries. The authors report robotic-assisted ovarian transposition in a 39-year-old woman with stage II-b cervical cancer. The ovaries were transposed to the ipsilateral paracolic gutter and secured to the anterior-lateral peritoneum using a disposable fixation device.
