Clinical study demonstrates decreased unnecessary oophorectomies in pediatric patients following preoperative risk stratification, indicating potential to preserve long-term ovarian function.
Unnecessary oophorectomies decreased with use of a preoperative risk stratification algorithm to identify lesions with a high likelihood of benign pathology that are appropriate for ovary-sparing surgery. Adoption of this algorithm might prevent unnecessary oophorectomy during adolescence and its lifelong consequences. Further studies are needed to determine barriers to algorithm adherence.
