Abstract
Of 118 cases of patient who had undergone abdominal hysterectomy with the preservation of one or both the ovaries, only 73 patients (62%) attended for review. Eleven had had cysts of the residual ovary. The occurrence of an asymptomatic pathology in three cases suggest that patients, for whom preservation of an ovary was considered preferable, should undergo a periodic clinical and ultrasonographic review.
