Laparoscopic removal of the ovary is indicated for pelvic pain, inflammation, endometriosis, nonmalignant neoplasms, or rarely castration for estrogen-sensitive disorders.

This chapter reviews laparoscopic indications and techniques for ovarian and parovarian surgery, focusing on scenarios such as pelvic pain due to ovarian adhesions not suitable for simple adhesiolysis, chronic inflammation, and severe endometriosis, as well as nonmalignant ovarian neoplasms and the rare need for surgical castration. It outlines operative options including laparoscopic approaches to ovarian endometriomas (citing laparoscopic surgical, laser, and YAG-laser techniques) and mentions laparoscopic management of ovarian cystic masses, situating these procedures within the broader goal of addressing pathology while considering limits and indications. A key limitation is that the text is an instructional chapter and selective literature overview rather than a single original study with unified methods or outcomes. Relevance to endometriosis: the chapter explicitly includes severe endometriosis as a primary indication for laparoscopic ovarian removal and cites multiple laparoscopic techniques for treating ovarian endometriomas.

Abstract

Indications for laparoscopic removal of the ovary include pelvic pain from ovarian adhesions not amenable to simple adhesiolysis, chronic inflammation, severe endometriosis, nonmalignant ovarian neoplasms in which preservation of ovarian function is not desired, or rarely castration for the treatment of breast cancer and other estrogen-sensitive disorders.
