Purpose:

  • To evaluate the role of prophylactic oophorectomy in preventing ovarian cancer.
  • To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of inducing surgical menopause as a preventive measure.
  • To compare laparoscopic versus vaginal approaches for performing oophorectomy.

Summary:

  • Ovarian cancer poses a significant mortality risk, necessitating improved prevention and early detection.
