Time Trends in Unilateral and Bilateral Oophorectomy in a Geographically Defined American Population

CONCLUSION: The incidence rates of unilateral and bilateral oophorectomy have varied greatly across the 69-year period of this study. In the past 14 years, the incidence of premenopausal unilateral and bilateral oophorectomy has decreased. These trends reflect the effects of the initial 2005-2006 publications and the subsequent expanding body of evidence against the practice of oophorectomy for noncancer indications.PMID:35576330 | PMC:PMC9015031 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000004728
