An open ovariectomy may be recommended for several reasons, including:
1. Ovarian Cysts: Large or persistent ovarian cysts that do not respond to other treatments. 2. Ovarian Cancer: To remove cancerous tissue. 3. Endometriosis: Severe cases that do not respond to other treatments. 4. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Chronic or severe inflammation. 5. Prophylactic Removal: In individuals at high risk for ovarian cancer due to genetic factors, such as BRCA mutations.
