Ovarian tissue banking for girls and teens having ovary surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects small pieces of ovarian tissue during certain surgeries in girls and teens (before or after puberty). The goal is to bank the tissue for possible future fertility or medical research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a female age 0 to 18 years old
- You are having planned or emergency surgery that involves the ovary
- Your surgery is an oophorectomy (removing part or all of an ovary) or an ovarian cystectomy (removing an ovarian cyst)
- You are not currently pregnant at the time of surgery
- Both before-puberty and after-puberty participants may be eligible

This study looks at how ovary function changes after surgery to remove a cyst from the ovary. It compares women with endometriosis-related cysts to those with other types, to better understand recovery.
This study looks at freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before certain cancer treatments or surgeries that may affect fertility. It may help preserve the ability to have children later, especially when future fertility is at risk.
This trial studies freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before treatment that may permanently affect fertility and hormone production. You might consider it if you are planning surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation soon and want to preserve future options.
This trial looks at freezing ovarian tissue to help protect future fertility for people who may lose ovarian function from medical treatments or ovarian surgery. It may help you preserve the chance to have children later when egg or embryo freezing alone isn’t an option.
This study follows people who have saved their own ovarian tissue (cryopreserved tissue) and may receive it back to try to restore ovarian function. It’s mainly for people with premature ovarian insufficiency and plans for tissue autograft, with monitoring for safety and outcomes.
This study looks at surgery to remove simple ovarian cysts in children and teens while trying to save the ovary. It aims to find the best way to treat these cysts and keep the ovary working well.
