Methods: Fifteen patients with rectal, bladder and cervical cancer were included in the study with their age ranged between 25 and 40 years old, 7 patients with cancer rectum, 3 patients with bladder cancer and 5 had cancer cervix. Ovarian transposition was done for patients during surgery followed by external beam radiotherapy to the pelvis, hormonal assessment was done for the patients before and after exposure to radiation. Results: No intra-operative or post-operative morbidity was observed in patients treated by laparotomy. Patients were found to have regular menstrual cycles. Their FSH, LH and progesterone levels were within normal ranges. Conclusion: Proper transposition of ovaries during laparotomy away from the radiation field can preserve the ovarian function in patients with pelvic tumors.展开更多
