Oophorectomy at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

Oophorectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or both ovaries. This complex operation is performed for serious ovarian conditions such as cancer, large cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or as a preventive measure against ovarian cancer. It may also be part of a comprehensive treatment plan, including chemotherapy or other therapies.

Indications for Oophorectomy:

Ovarian cancer: When malignant tumors are detected.
Ovarian cysts or tumors: That cause pain or other complications.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): A chronic condition where multiple cysts form in the ovaries, disrupting hormonal balance and fertility.
Endometriosis: Abnormal growth of tissue similar to the uterine lining outside the uterus, which can affect the ovaries.
Cancer prevention: For women at high genetic risk of ovarian cancer (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations).

Oophorectomy Procedure at Helyos:

Consultation and Diagnosis: A comprehensive medical evaluation is performed, including ultrasound diagnostics, laboratory tests, and other assessments to determine the condition of the ovaries.
Preoperative Preparation: The patient undergoes necessary examinations such as blood tests, an electrocardiogram, and other health assessments.
Surgical Procedure: The surgery can be performed laparoscopically (through small incisions) or via open surgery, depending on the patient’s condition and case complexity.
Postoperative Care: After surgery, the patient remains under medical supervision to monitor the recovery process.

Depending on the type of surgery, hospital discharge can occur within a few days.
