A member asked:

Patient with complex adnexal mass why is better to remove entire ovary?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Not always: It is not always better, just sometimes. It depends on risk factors, specifics of the mass, and patient wishes for possible future fertility. I remove ovarian masses up to 8 c.M. All year long without removing an ovary, just have to pick and choose your cases carefully.
