An oophorectomy removes one or both ovaries for reasons such as cysts, endometriosis, a twisted ovary, cancer or reducing the risk of cancer.

Ovaries may be removed for large or recurring cysts, endometriosis, ovarian torsion, cancer or to lower cancer risk in women with a BRCA gene change, and for risk reduction the tubes are usually removed as well.

Removing one ovary usually leaves hormone levels and fertility largely unchanged.

The NHS explains that removing both ovaries brings on the menopause straight away at any age, and that HRT should be offered.

Talk through the effects of an early menopause on bones and the heart before surgery; keyhole surgery often allows recovery within one to two weeks, while open surgery takes longer.

Fit-to-fly window: UK Civil Aviation Authority guidance for health professionals advises not flying for 10 days after abdominal surgery, so plan about two weeks in Delhi.

A Delhi estimate for oophorectomy is usually built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: blood tests, imaging and an anaesthetic check.
• Operating theatre and anaesthesia: billed largely by time in theatre.
• Surgeon grade: consultant fees vary between hospitals.
• Surgical approach: open, keyhole or robotic, where options exist.
• One ovary or both: the extent.
• Keyhole or open: the approach.
• Tubes removed too: often for risk reduction.
• Laboratory tests: on removed tissue.

Ask whether the Delhi estimate covers the surgeon, theatre, anaesthetist, room, medicines and review visits, as these are often billed separately.

Gynaecology in Delhi NCR is provided by multi-speciality and women's hospitals, with keyhole and hysteroscopic surgery widely offered.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Delhi has a long record with international accreditation: India's first hospital to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, in July 2005, is in New Delhi, and JCI keeps a public list of accredited organisations.

Ask the hospital's international patient desk, where one exists, whether it provides the hospital letter for the e-Medical visa application, airport pickup, interpreters and help with nearby accommodation.
