Ovarian transposition, also known as ovarian suspension or oophoropexy, is a surgical procedure primarily performed in patients undergoing pelvic radiation therapy for cancers such as cervical or rectal cancer. The ovaries are transposed or moved away from the radiation field to minimize their exposure to radiation. This procedure aims to preserve ovarian function and fertility by protecting the ovaries from the harmful effects of radiation therapy.

Treatment: Dr. Deepak Bose specializes in ovarian transposition, a surgical technique that involves relocating one or both ovaries to a higher position within the pelvis or outside the radiation field. This is typically performed prior to pelvic radiation therapy. During the procedure, the ovaries are carefully dissected from their original location and repositioned to a safer location, such as the upper abdomen or lateral pelvic sidewalls. This helps to shield the ovaries from the radiation beam while still allowing them to function normally.
