Abstract

Background

The ovary is an important organ of the female reproductive system, which produces oocytes and secretes reproductive hormones. Ovaries have complex dual blood supplies with their blood supply being the core component to protect and ensure ovarian function. Ovarian preservation surgery often encounters problems related to whether or not to preserve ovarian vessels on the affected side.

Case presentation

This study reports on the case of a 30-year-old female patient with the retroperitoneal fibromatosis that had a history of uterine leiomyoma. During the operation, the ovarian arteries and veins were separated according to what was found during the procedure. A postoperative examination demonstrated good function and morphology of the ovary.

Conclusions

A thorough review of academic journals combined with our collection of clinical data was conducted, which confirmed the double blood supply source to the ovaries. As a result of this exploration, a new surgical method is being proposed that is designed to protect the ovaries. By conducting this new procedure, the patient’s disease was not only halted and ultimately cured, but results demonstrate that the method was also able to retain the shape and function of the ovary. The postoperative satisfaction of the patient was significantly improved.
