Laparoscopic Oophorectomy is a procedure to remove one or both of a woman’s ovaries. A unilateral oophorectomy removes one ovary; a bilateral oophorectomy removes both. The procedure is frequently performed in conjunction with other surgeries, such as a hysterectomy (removal of uterus) for women who have undergone menopause or a salpingectomy (removal of fallopian tubes). An oophorectomy may be performed for: A tubo-ovarian abscess – a pus-filled pocket involving a fallopian tube and an ovary, Ovarian cancer, Endometriosis, Noncancerous (benign) ovarian tumors or cysts, Reducing the risk of ovarian cancer or breast cancer in those at increased risk, Ovarian torsion – the twisting of an ovary.
