Summary

Model biopsy specimens from 100 surgically removed ovaries were studied. They were matched in respect of size, dimensions and examination technique to 110 ovarian biopsy specimens obtained during laparoscopy from 60 amenorrhoeic patients. It was found that ovarian biopsy specimens with an all-round edge length of 4 to 5 mm permit usable conclusions in respect of the structure and hence also of the function of normal ovaries.

Zusammenfassung

Untersucht wurden Modellbiopsien an 100 operativ entfernten Ovarien. Sie waren in Größe, Ausmaß und Untersuchungstechnik 110 Ovarialbiopsien bei Laparoskopien von 60 amenorrhoischen Patientinnen angeglichen. Es zeigte sich, daß Ovarialbiopsien von 4 bis 5 mm allseitiger Kantenlänge einen brauchbaren Rückschluß auf Bau und damit wohl auch Funktion normaler Ovarien zulassen.
