A member asked:
Patient with complex adnexal mass why is better to remove entire ovary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
