Surgery for ovarian remnant syndrome. Lessons learned from difficult cases.
Ten cases of ovarian remnant syndrome jointly managed by gynecology and urology departments are presented. Complications of the surgery included a high incidence of ureteral and bowel injury. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative considerations may reduce the complications or minimize their significance. One case of ovarian cancer developed among the instances of ovarian remnant syndrome in this series. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative considerations can reduce the complications of surgery for ovarian remnant syndrome.
