Collecting ovarian tissue samples from girls undergoing surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to enroll girls and women aged 0-18 who are undergoing surgery involving the ovary, such as oophorectomy or ovarian cystectomy. The investigators will collect discarded ovarian tissue samples during these procedures to create an ovarian tissue library. The goal is to analyze how various ovarian conditions affect the number and quality of ovarian follicles and the overall reproductive potential of the ovary. No additional procedures will be performed solely for the study, ensuring that only tissue that would otherwise be discarded is collected.
