A hysterectomy only removes the uterus and cervix. The ovaries remain in place, still prone to cysts.*

* The only way to prevent this would be an oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries). Unfortunately, this causes the immediate onset of menopause, and is the reason that it isn't done as a matter of course.

What is ovariohysterectomy?

There are several types of hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy is uterus and cervix. Additionally the fallopian tubes (salpingo) and ovaries (oopherectomy) may be removed so, a total hysterectomy with unilateral(one) or bilateral (both) salpingo oopherectomy would be all the reproductive organs apart from the vagina. Radical hysterectomy also removes lymph nodes when cancer has spread beyond the fallopian tubes.

Is it left ovary works after hysterectomy?

Yes, the left ovary can still function after a hysterectomy, provided it was not removed during the procedure. A hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus, but the ovaries may be left intact. If the ovaries are preserved, they continue to produce hormones and release eggs, maintaining their normal functions. However, if both ovaries are removed (oophorectomy), ovarian function ceases.
