An oophorectomy is a removal of one or both ovaries. This procedure is pursued by patients to prevent or treat any medical complications associated with having a uterus; likewise, it can provide a sense of gender congruence to patients who do not wish to have this organ. It is not a requirement to undergo any other kind of bottom surgery procedure. Read more here.

Orchiectomy (testicle removal)

An orchiectomy is the removal of the testicles. This procedure is one of the quickest and easiest to recover from. It is usually required to undergo a vaginoplasty and can be done at least 8 weeks before or during said procedure. Likewise, patients can get an orchiectomy without undergoing a vaginoplasty to simplify their hormonal regimen; removing the testicles allows someone to get off testosterone blockers and take less estrogen, possibly preventing certain health complications.
