Oophorectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of one or both ovaries. The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system and produce eggs as well as important hormones like estrogen and progesterone. In certain situations, removing the ovaries may be necessary to improve health, reduce the risk of certain conditions, or treat pre-existing health problems.
Dr. Kachhara performs oophorectomy surgery using laparoscopic techniques whenever possible, which reduces the risk of complications, promotes faster recovery, and minimizes scarring. In some cases, an open surgery may be required depending on the condition.
Dr. Kachhara typically performs oophorectomy surgery using laparoscopy, a minimally invasive technique that involves small incisions and the use of a camera to guide the procedure. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery include:
In some cases, an open surgery may be necessary, especially if the ovaries are significantly enlarged or if there are complications. Dr. Kachhara will determine the best surgical approach based on the patient’s condition.
Ovarian Cancer
Oophorectomy is often recommended as part of the treatment for ovarian cancer, either as a preventive measure or to remove cancerous tissue.
Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain
For women suffering from severe endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain that is not relieved by other treatments, an oophorectomy may be suggested to remove the source of discomfort.
Risk Reduction in High-Risk Individuals
For women at high genetic risk for ovarian or breast cancer, particularly those with mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, oophorectomy is often performed as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Hormonal Imbalances
Severe hormonal imbalances caused by ovarian conditions may necessitate the removal of the ovaries, especially if they interfere with a woman’s overall health and well-being.
Benign Ovarian Conditions
Conditions like ovarian cysts, endometriosis, or fibroids can cause significant pain and complications. Oophorectomy can help manage these issues when other treatments are not effective.

Yes, oophorectomy is generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Kachhara. Risks are minimized with modern techniques like laparoscopy.
If one ovary is removed, you can still get pregnant if the remaining ovary is healthy. If both ovaries are removed, fertility treatments like egg donation may be considered.
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs. However, these risks are minimal with Dr. Kachhara’s expertise.
If both ovaries are removed, you may experience menopause-like symptoms due to the loss of estrogen and progesterone. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be recommended to manage these symptoms.
Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed. Most patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery can return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks, while open surgery may require a longer recovery period.
