Anovulation and sterility may occur. This chapter summarises normal physiology of the female gonad and the development of oogenesis throughout the reproductive age to menopause. Furthermore, the interaction of ovarian pathology and endocrinology is described. The main focus is on the technique of ovarian-preserving surgery by laparoscopy. In addition, alternative therapeutic approaches and screening tests are discussed.\nAccess this chapter\nTax calculation will be finalised at checkout\nPurchases are for personal use only\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nShort RV (1998) Difference between a testis and an ovary.
