Not necessarily.: This is often done as an outpatient procedure, but check with your doctor. Each patient is a little different.

No: Most laparoscopic oophorectomies can be done on an outpatient basis, meaning you have the surgery in a surgicenter or hospital but you go home the same day. If complications occurred or if a laparotomy (open procedure) was necessary, an overnight stay might be recommended.
