Laparoscopic oophorectomy
Laparoscopic oophorectomy is the surgical procedure to remove one or both ovaries. Developing an ovarian cyst or a mass and also accidents to the ovarian cyst such as hemorrhage and bleeding into the cyst are the most common indications of oophorectomy.
Pain, pressure on the bowels or bladder, bloating, and tiredness are common symptoms of an ovarian cyst. Removed ovaries can be checked histologically and see whether it is a cancer or not. When a woman has a positive family history of ovarian cancer, this surgery can be performed even before the disease onset.
