I had a bilateral oopherectomy in 2006 and bladder (marshall-marchetti) surgery as well.  This was through an abdominal incision.  
Historically I had already had bladder surgery and a hysterectomy in 2000.

I experienced the same pain (before surgery) immediately after my bilateral oopherectomy surgery.The gynecologist that I had seen is the only gyn surgeon I had seen for over 20 years so he knew me.

A year later, I visited my GP because of the pain, I asked for a CT scan and I got the report.  The radiologist reported bilateral ovaries and tubules present.  Was I surprised?  I contacted my gyn and he without my permission contacted the radiologist and the radiologist changed his report after being told that I had had bilateral oopherectomy surgery.

I then wanted a second opinion and went to another radiologist who performed an ultrasound.  He also reported bilateral ovaries with tubules.  

I also found out that a marshall marchetti is an outdated procedure and I was aghast to find out that the gyn use chromic gut to suture my bladder to my pelvic wall.  Knowing my history and the type of work that I do, I do not think that should been the surgery of choice nor the suture because chromic gut dissolves within 7 weeks.  How can a bladder be suspended or remain suspended to a pelvic wall?

Due to all the discrepancies between radiologist reports and reports being changed, I need to see another physician who is a specialist in this type of surgery because I am in pain, but I do not want to go through needless surgeries.

I had never had any type of incision on my body other than a pelvic exam, a hysterectomy that was conducted vaginally and children that were born naturally.

Go get your surgical report from the surgeries and and all the reports from the tests, then go see another gyn. The hospital or were it was you had the them done at should have them, or ask the nurse from the doctors office to make copies of them from your file. It may cost you something, but it will be well worth it.

Two additional tests and BOTH say you still have ovaries?! Does your gyn surgeon work in the same facility as the people who read the CT and the US scans? Sounds extremely odd. Talk to your insurance company before seeking a 3rd opinion and explain the problem. You want to be sure another CT Scan (not an Ultrasound again) will be paid for-then go to a reputable gyn-surgeon in an other city,  who is not affiliated with the other 3 proffessionals and get this cleared up once and for all. Something sure isn't right and a hospital ethics committee should be notified, in my opinion.
