A film showing an ovariotomy to treat a large cystoadenoma ovarrii. The appearance of the abdomen before the operation is shown. A paramedian incision is made, exposing the tumour.

The other ovary is examined and removed with preservation of some ovarian tissue. The abdomen is closed and there follows a pathological demonstration of the specimen.
