TAH & BSO
I had TAH and BSO Oct last year. Unfortunately, the TAH left me with a 2cm VVF which went undiagnosed until January this year. I have had two major procedures since the last one in Aug being successful although I still have bladder issues namely spasms and urgency. I also have a constricted ureter but urine does flow through.
My main question is that my right ovary was removed during the TAH but the left ovary remained. During my last surgery the left ovary was found to be covered in cysts and the size of a tennis ball with a cyst in the tube. Would this ovary have been that bad when the TAH was done?

Thank you. I do have the operation report but cannot understand it but shall be asking my GP to explain it to me tomorrow.
Just to let you know that my uterus and bladder were adhered to each other and this was cause of my bladder injury. There was no attempt to repair it intraoperatively. This is something I am very angry with my local hospital about.

Hello,
I'm sorry you have had such a difficult time related to your original surgery, but I am glad to hear you are improving.
Ovarian cysts can come and go over time so an ovary changing in appearance is not unusual. To know how the left ovary looked at the time of the TAH you should request the operative report from that surgery. In that report the surgeon should have dictated the condition of the uterus, tubes and ovaries and any other pertinent findings. An operative report becomes a part of your medical record, so you have every right to have access to it.
Best regards,
Dr. Downing
