Description
Summary:Background Changes that occur in the remaining ovary after contralateral oophorectomy are not well described. Objective To determine average ovarian volume in pediatric patients after contralateral oophorectomy compared to age-matched controls with two normal ovaries. Materials and methods We performed a retrospective review of ultrasound examinations and electronic medical records of patients ages 0–18 years who had unilateral oophorectomy from 2000 to 2017 ( n =64). We used 384 consecutive normal age-matched ovaries for comparison, analyzing mean ovarian volumes. Results Higher mean ovarian volume (mL) was observed in patients who had oophorectomy compared to controls in the first decade of life ( P
