Laparoscopic Oophorectomy

Definition

Laparoscopic oophorectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the removal of one or both ovaries through small incisions in the abdomen. This procedure is performed using a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, which allows the surgeon to visualize and remove the ovaries with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
