A segment of ovary from a 30-years old America woman, Margaret
Lloyd-Hart, which had been removed and frozen several years ago, was
grafted back inside her in February by Dr Kutluk Oktay at New York
Methodist Hospital.
Dr Oktay is a former research fellow of Professor Roger Gosden of Leeds
University, who pioneered the technique used.
Doctors now report that it has taken successfully and Ms Lloyd-Hart has
begun ovulating again also she has "not seen all the hormonal benefits
yet".

Experts say the new technique could have a greater effect on human
fertility than the advent of in vitro fertilization (IVF) 20 years ago.
