The effect is not limited to women who have oophorectomy performed before menopause; an impact on survival is expected even for surgeries performed up to the age of 65. [27] Surgery at age 50-54 reduces the probability of survival until age 80 by 8% (from 62% to 54% survival), surgery at age 55-59 by 4%.

Excessive laparoscopic ovarian drilling has been reported to cause premature ovarian failure. [10] [11] (The primordial follicles are located in the thin outer one-millimeter layer of the ovary.) [12]
