Abstract: Objective To estimate the thawed ovarian tissue viability and explore the feasibility of short distance transportation after thawing different periods at room temperature conditions. Methods Thirteen patients in total,9 samples (2 mm in diameter) were obtained from each patient. One fresh sample was performed follicle counts and the other 8 samples were cryopreservatethawed and randomly divided into 4 groups depends on the time after thawing,that means group 1(0 min), group 2(20 min), group 3(40 min), group 4(60 min). Viable follicle counts,steroid hormone lactic acid and glucose metabolism were performed. Results There were no statistical differences in follicles viability between the fresh group and 4 groups after thawing. And no statistical differences in follicles viability,steroid hormone, lactic acid and glucose metabolism between 4 groups after thawing. Conclusion The ovarian tissue viability did not be impaired after thawing at room temperature in one hour.

Key words: ovarian tissue preservation, fertility protection, thawing, follicle counts
