title: [Ovarian tumors after previous hysterectomy].
abstract: The purpose of that work was to assure the advisability of hysterectomies without adnexes at perimenopausal women and to find the answer if that operation constitutes a form of prevention of ovarian cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  The patients operated at our ward between 1989 and 2001. All patients that horebun performed hysterectomies without adnexes were taken into the analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  During 3-7 years after the initial operation 40 (5.6%) patients were reoperated and the ovarian tumors were removed. Histologically 87.5% of the tumors were benign, and 12.5% were cancers, that is 0.6% of all operated women.
