Listen as Dr. Berga shares what an oophorectomy is.
Dr. Berga:
It means removing the ovary. So, it’s the same as ovariectomy and a lot of people use it. Oophorectomy is one of an older term that is based on Latin and made it into the literature. Ovariectomy is good too. I think maybe more people understand that.
