What Is an Oophorectomy?

Procedure in which one or both ovaries are removed with a laparoscope. With laparoscopic oophorectomy, you will have 2-3 small incisions about 2-4 cm, as opposed to a large 4-8 inch incision for a traditional open abdominal surgery. Some reasons an oophorectomy may be needed include:

  • Ovarian or gynecological cancer
  • Infections caused by Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
  • Endometriosis
