CURRENT ACTIVITY OF OVARIAN TISSUE CRYOPRESERVATION SUPPORTS A CENTRALIZED SERVICE
 The impact of transportation and prolonged cooling remains an area which is poorly explored, as the final endpoints with pregnancies and live births are decades ahead of us.
 However, so far the clinical outcomes support transportation, as live births have been reported in both the Danish and German cohorts.
 In Germany, 400 ovarian tissue cryopreservation procedures are carried out each year, representing a total figure of more than 2500 cryopreservations to date (2016).
 Approximately 5 cryopreservations per million population per year in Germany and 13 per million in Denmark.
 Currently, the indications for ovarian tissue cryopreservation and the level of activity support the centralization of the technique, which is very different from normal IVF and is a tremendous work for clinics to implement on their own.
THE OVARY HAS ARRIVED SAFELY TO THE CRYOBANK
– THEN WHAT?
