AB Removal  of  the  fallopian  tubes  and/or  ovaries  is  indicated  for  inflammatory  involvement  of  the  adnexa  that  cannot  be  relieved  by  the  use  of  conservative  measures  including  antibiotics,  for  ovarian  cysts,  neoplasms,  ectopic  pregnancies,  and  endometriosis.  Bilateral  oophorectomy  is  advised  by  some  as  a  desirable  procedure  in  extensive  carcinoma  of  the  rectum  because  of  the  susceptibility  of  the  ovaries  to  tumor  transplantation  from  lesions  of  the  gastrointestinal  tract.  In  the  absence  of  malignancy  every  effort  should  be  made  to  conserve  even  remnants  of  functioning  ovarian  tissue  especially  in  the  younger  patients,  but  recently  conservation  has  also  been  recommended  for  menopausal  patients  without  other  indications  for  ovarian  removal.
