Removal of Ovary Procedure

Removal of ovaries, medically referred to as an ovariectomy or an oophorectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove one or both of the ovaries. The ovaries are small, oval-shaped organs located on each side of the uterus. The ovaries are responsible for the production of hormones and eggs. There are various reasons why a patient may need to undergo an oophorectomy, and they should consult their doctor if they are unsure about the treatment steps to follow.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

While ovary removal is not all too common, it is recommended to patients to treat various conditions and diseases. Your physician may recommend an ovary removal surgery to treat the following:

  • Ovarian cancer
  • Endometriosis
  • Benign ovarian tumors or cysts
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Other reasons

 

 

What To Expect

Before the procedure, the patient will join their doctor for consultations to determine the most effective approach to treatment. If it is possible to only remove one ovary rather than two, the doctor will always recommend this. However, the removal of both is necessary in certain instances. Depending on the approach used by your doctor, ovary removal surgery can vary. Typically performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a thin tube with a camera and specialized instruments to guide the removal of the ovaries. It is important to consult your doctor before the procedure so you know exactly what to expect.

Immediately after the surgery, patients may experience pain and discomfort at the incision site and throughout the pelvic area. Pain medications are typically prescribed to manage these symptoms. Depending on the type of procedure performed (laparoscopic or open surgery), patients may be discharged within a few hours or require a short hospital stay. Individuals must have planned support during the initial days post-surgery since activities like lifting heavy objects and engaging in strenuous exercise should be avoided to promote proper healing.
