A postal questionnaire was sent to all gynaecological consultants and senior registrars (n = 50) in Northern Ireland to establish the prevalence of prophylactic oophorectomy. Forty three (84%) replied. 72% performed prophylactic oophorectomy (28% unilateral), 28% did not. With reference to the world literature, there appears to be no benefit from the unilateral procedure but a consensus that bilateral oophorectomy is an option which should be considered in certain cases where there is a high risk of ovarian cancer.
一份邮政调查问卷被寄给了北爱尔兰所有的妇科顾问医生和高级住院医生（共50人），以确定预防性卵巢切除术的流行情况。43人（84%）回复了问卷。72%的人实施预防性卵巢切除术（28%为单侧），28%的人不实施。参考世界文献，单侧手术似乎没有益处，但对于双侧卵巢切除术在某些卵巢癌高风险病例中应被视为一种可考虑的选择这一点存在共识。
