Obviously, you only know what you've been told, but I'm curious as to what kind of cyst required complete removal of her ovary. Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own (though they can be a bitch if they burst). Those that don't resolve can easily be removed without danger to the ovary. I know you don't know and you don't have to answer, it's more of a rhetorical question than anything...
The ovaries end up getting cancerous and the cancer for some reason, quickly seems to spread to the entire cervix. This is generally done where there is a family hx of fibroid tumors or cervical cancer.
The cysts can and cannot be benign, and the problem is that one cysts becomes another, and another, ect until the woman has PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome).
The real problem is when those cysts burst, it is very horrendous for the woman because they can quickly and easily cause the woman to become anemic.
A lot depends on the doctor if they feel that the woman needs to have such an invasive procedure or not. The reason why they don't want her to do this is because they go into your uterus through either under your stomach or the area above your pelvic bone. Either way, the stitches remain there for 6 weeks and you may/may not continue to bleed and it's a constant thing of making sure that the area is clean, yadda, yadda, yadda. Not to mention the pain and the inability to bend down, over, around, you know, no swinging from chandliers (?) or vacuuming or picking up children, etc. It does pretty much slow you down.

I know what PCOS is and have had ovarian cysts with both pregnancies. I believe the dermiod cyst that was diagnosed during my last pregnancy is still there. It didn't seem to be an issue with my OB and I can only kind of feel it every once in a while. I was under the impression that if my OB felt it needed to be removed, it would be done laparascopically with no lasting effects to me or my ovary. My question was more of a rhetorical, thinking out loud thing...

I think it just depends on the person and the case. Like you, I have PCOS too and there is a hx of fibroid tumors in my family. All of my mom's sisters (2) had a hysterectomy (?) by the time they were 35 due to the fibroid tumors. It just depends on the case. I understand the thinking out loud, I just thought I'd throw in an answer. (sorry)
