Dear Sherry Thank you for the info, I'm off to the hospital tomorrow for my pre-op check so hopefully they can answer my queries then. I'm really worried they may not be able to remove the ovary via laparascope because of the adhesions. I really do not want any more abdominal surgery. After my hysterectomy they said they would try and remove the cervix as I was still having problems, now they say they can't remove it without damage to the bladder. So I'm a little scared that maybe the ovary is not in a position to be removed via laparoscope. No doubt on the 27 (surgery date) all will be revealed. Thank you for replying to my email. Best Wishes Sandie
