Oophorectomy is a surgical procedure to remove an ovary or both to lower your risk of cancer and/or to treat certain medical conditions around the pelvic region. When only one ovary is removed, it is called Unilateral Oophorectomy while removal of both is called Bilateral Oophorectomy.
The ovaries are situated on each side of the uterus in the pelvis and are almond shaped in size. The ovaries are the reproductive organs that contain eggs releasing one egg every month. They also produce hormones–oestrogen and progesterone that control the menstrual cycle.
Oophorectomy may be performed on its own or combined with the removal of other organs to reduce the high risk of breast cancer or ovarian cancer as the fallopian tubes (Salpingectomy) and ovaries share the same blood supply.
When an ovary and a fallopian tube are removed, the surgery is known as Salpingo-Oophorectomy or Unilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (USO). When both the ovaries and both fallopian tubes are removed, it is called Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (BSO).
Moreover, Oophorectomy can be performed with Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus without the ovaries and fallopian tubes).
