About the Procedure

What is Oophorectomy?

Oophorectomy is the surgical removal of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) ovaries, performed to treat conditions such as ovarian cysts, tumors, endometriosis, severe pelvic infection, or to reduce cancer risk in high-risk patients. It may be done alone or combined with removal of the fallopian tubes (salpingo-oophorectomy) or uterus (hysterectomy). The procedure can be performed via minimally invasive laparoscopy or open surgery depending on the underlying condition and suspicion of malignancy.

Who may be considered?

Oophorectomy may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera-guided instrument to remove the ovary, offering faster recovery and less scarring for benign or low-risk cases.

2 approaches available for this procedure:

Laparoscopic Oophorectomy

Minimally Invasive

A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera-guided instrument to remove the ovary, offering faster recovery and less scarring for benign or low-risk cases.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $200 - $600

Pelvic ultrasound, CT/MRI abdomen and pelvis, CA-125 tumor marker, CBC, coagulation profile, ECG, anesthesia fitness assessment

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $2,800 - $4,500

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~7-10 days recommended
Total stay: approx 10-13 days

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Surgeon and anesthesia fees
  • Operation theatre and laparoscopic equipment charges
  • Standard private room stay
  • Post-op medications during hospitalization
  • One follow-up consultation

Usually Not Included

  • Airfare and visa costs
  • Local accommodation after discharge
  • Histopathology report if sent externally
  • Any additional procedures if malignancy is found intraoperatively

Recovery and follow-up

Laparoscopic patients typically resume light activities within 1-2 weeks, while open surgery patients need 4-6 weeks for full recovery; hormone therapy may be advised if both ovaries are removed before natural menopause.

Risks

Potential risks include bleeding, infection, injury to nearby organs, blood clots, and early menopause symptoms (hot flashes, mood changes, bone density loss) if both ovaries are removed.

Alternatives

Depending on the condition, alternatives may include cyst aspiration, ovarian cystectomy (removing only the cyst while preserving the ovary), hormonal therapy, or watchful monitoring with regular imaging.

What we need to prepare a formal estimate

Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.

Reports required

  • Pelvic/transvaginal ultrasound report
  • CT or MRI of abdomen and pelvis
  • CA-125 and relevant tumor marker results
  • Recent CBC and coagulation profile
  • Hormonal profile (if applicable)
  • Any prior biopsy or histopathology reports
  • ECG and cardiac clearance if over 40 or with heart history
  • List of current medications and allergies

Patient information needed

  • Age and menopausal status
  • Reason for surgery (cyst, tumor, endometriosis, cancer risk, etc.)
  • Whether one or both ovaries need removal
  • History of previous abdominal or pelvic surgeries
  • Family history of ovarian/breast cancer
  • Current fertility considerations or desire to preserve fertility
  • Existing medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension, clotting disorders)
  • Any current hormone therapy or medications

Common questions

FAQs about Oophorectomy in Chennai, India

What is Ovarian Disorders?
Ovarian disorders are a group of conditions that affect the structure or function of one or both ovaries, ranging from common benign cysts and hormonal conditions like PCOS to rarer but more serious conditions such as ovarian tumours or cancer. The term covers a wide clinical spectrum, and what constitutes the most appropriate care depends entirely on the specific diagnosis and an individual's clinical circumstances.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Ovarian Disorders?
Symptoms can vary considerably depending on the underlying condition and may include pelvic or lower abdominal pain, bloating, irregular or absent menstrual periods, pain during intercourse, difficulty conceiving, or — in the case of ovarian torsion — sudden severe pelvic pain requiring urgent attention. Some ovarian disorders, including early-stage ovarian cancer, may produce few or no noticeable symptoms, which is why investigation is important even when discomfort is mild or intermittent. It is important to note that symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis, and a qualified clinician must carry out appropriate investigations to determine their cause.
How is Ovarian Disorders diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed medical and gynaecological history alongside a pelvic examination, followed by transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasound to assess ovarian size, morphology, and the character of any cysts or masses. Blood tests — including CA-125 (a tumour marker that can be elevated in ovarian cancer, though it is not specific to it), AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone for PCOS assessment), and hormonal panels — may be requested depending on the clinical picture. Where malignancy is suspected, further imaging such as CT or MRI, and in some cases diagnostic laparoscopy or histopathological analysis of tissue, may be required to characterise the condition and guide staging under established frameworks such as the FIGO staging system for ovarian cancer.
How is Ovarian Disorders treated?
Treatment depends entirely on the type, severity, and clinical implications of the specific ovarian disorder, as well as factors such as the patient's age, fertility wishes, and overall health. For benign conditions, management may range from watchful waiting and lifestyle measures to hormonal therapies, while more complex or high-risk conditions may require minimally invasive or open surgical intervention, including oophorectomy (surgical removal of one or both ovaries). In cases of confirmed or suspected ovarian malignancy, treatment is typically multidisciplinary and may involve surgery combined with chemotherapy or other oncological therapies.
Can Ovarian Disorders be treated without a procedure?
Many benign ovarian disorders — including simple cysts, PCOS, and hormonally driven conditions — are commonly managed without surgery through approaches such as regular monitoring with ultrasound, hormonal contraceptives to regulate cycles and suppress cyst formation, insulin-sensitising medications for PCOS-related metabolic concerns, and lifestyle modifications including diet and physical activity. However, it is important to be aware that certain conditions — such as ovarian torsion, persistent or complex masses, or confirmed malignancy — have limited or no effective non-surgical pathway, and a clinician will advise on this based on individual assessment.
When is Oophorectomy considered for Ovarian Disorders?
Oophorectomy may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Ovarian Disorders?
Ovarian disorders are primarily evaluated and managed by a gynaecologist, and where malignancy is confirmed or strongly suspected, care is typically led by or coordinated with a gynaecological oncologist. Depending on the condition — particularly in PCOS — an endocrinologist or reproductive medicine specialist may also be involved in ongoing management.
How do I choose a doctor for Ovarian Disorders?
When selecting a specialist for an ovarian disorder, it is worth considering their experience with the specific condition you have been assessed for — whether that is complex cyst management, fertility-preserving surgery, or oncological treatment — as well as their access to multidisciplinary teams, advanced imaging, and pathology services, and the quality of follow-up care they can offer.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
