An '''oophorectomy''' is the surgical removal of one or both of a person's ovaries. It may also be called '''ovariectomy''' but that term is mostly used in reference to non-human animals.

Oophorectomy is most often performed because of diseases such as ovarian cysts or cancer, or as a preventive measure to reduce the chances of developing ovarian cancer or breast cancer. However, some [[transmasculine]] people choose to have an oophorectomy as part of their gender [[transition]]. It can be done on its own or along with a [[hysterectomy]].

Oophorectomy is usually performed by abdominal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopy laparoscopy].
