OBJECTIVE To show that ovarian transplantation is a promising strategy for preserving fertility in young women and children who have cryopreserved tissue before undergoing potentially sterilizing treatment for cancer and other conditions. CONCLUSIONS Credit for the first transplants is because of a forgotten pioneer, Robert Morris of New York, who was an innovative surgeon as well as a model clinical investigator over a century ago.
