Patient reported outcomes after risk-reducing surgery in patients at increased risk of ovarian cancer

L. Philp et al.

Summary: Women at an increased risk of ovarian cancer undergoing risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) reported decreased health-related worry and tension post-operatively, but also experienced lower levels of health and quality of life, decreased interest in sex, and feeling less physically attractive. Compared to patients with ovarian neoplasms, at-risk patients had lower levels of disease-related life interference and treatment burden, less worry, and better overall health.

Patient reported experiences following laparoscopic prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or salpingectomy in an ambulatory care hospital

Rachel Trister et al.

Summary: Women undergoing prophylactic laparoscopic BSO reported varying levels of understanding about post-operative outcomes, with some feeling inadequately informed. Most reported outcomes were expected, with menopausal symptoms more common among premenopausal women. Premenopausal women took longer to resume sexual activity and return to full-time work compared to postmenopausal women. Additional patient materials may be needed to better prepare patients for the post-surgery period despite pre-surgery counselling.

The psychosexual effects of risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers: A systematic review of qualitative studies

India Hickey et al.

Summary: This study explored the psychosexual impacts of risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with results indicating that women undergoing the surgery often feel unprepared for the psychological and sexual side effects. RRBSO was found to commonly cause distress and problems for women and their partners.

The impact of risk reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy on sexual function in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and women with Lynch syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Victoria Kershaw et al.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) on sexual function in women at high risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer. The results showed that RRBSO has a negative impact on sexual function, with increased vaginal dryness as a significant side effect. This decline in sexual function post-RRBSO is independent of menopausal status, and hormone replacement therapy does not eliminate the negative impact. Comprehensive preoperative counseling is essential for managing patient expectations and minimizing postoperative distress.

What happens after menopause(WHAM): A prospective controlled study of depression and anxiety up to 12 months after premenopausal risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy

Martha Hickey et al.

Summary: Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy significantly reduces ovarian cancer risk in women, but it also leads to a rapid increase in clinically significant depressive and anxiety symptoms, despite hormone therapy use.

A prospective controlled study of sexual function and sexually related personal distress up to 12 months after premenopausal risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy

Rakibul M. Islam et al.

Summary: The study suggests that premenopausal risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) may adversely affect sexual function, especially in those who do not receive estrogen therapy. Further research is needed to understand the impact of RRBSO on sexual function and sexually related personal distress, as well as the potential for estrogen therapy to mitigate any adverse effects.
