Safety of laparoscopic oophorectomy in a Dutch national pediatric cancer cohort
Laparoscopic oophorectomy is a relatively safe procedure to preserve future fertility for girls with cancer with a high risk of gonadal failure and consequent infertility. However, LO can be accompanied by complications in children with cancer. Therefore, safety monitoring and identification of risk factors for complications based on larger cohorts in future studies are needed. Prevention of complications of LO is an important obligation to balance the future benefits against the risks of LO to enhance the future chance of pregnancy for girls with cancer.
