Abstract
Ovarian transposition, as the name implies, is transpositioning the ovary from its
normal anatomical position to another location. This procedure is usually done to
preserve the ovarian function. The most common indication of ovarian transposition
is early cervical cancer in young premenopausal women to preserve fertility. Subcutaneous
ovarian transposition can also be done for benign conditions such as adenomyosis and
severe endometriosis in young premenopausal women. We discuss our experience with
ovarian transposition in 9 cases, normal ultrasound and CT imaging findings in transposed
ovaries, and rare complications which occurred in 2 cases.
