Concurrent uterine surgery and uptake of hormone therapy in patients undergoing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for risk-reducing or therapeutic indications

CONCLUSIONS: Rates of hysterectomy declined over the study period and slightly more than one-third of eligible patients utilized post-operative HT. Further research on concurrent uterine surgery is needed to establish standardized treatment recommendations in the risk-reducing and therapeutic BSO population. Additionally, education regarding the benefits of postoperative HT in eligible patients is warranted.PMID:37988946 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.10.023
