ORS in my case occurred when the ovary was wedged in near the ureter, encased in adhesions and the large bowel covered it. So, they tried to get the stupid thing out because it was ovulating and blasting me with estrogen. I had taken depo-provera and there was no change. One surgeon took it out in fragments...you can't do that from what I learned later on. The first attempt to excise it failed, so he used a laser to blast it...and the thing came back again. I was on HRT prior to knowing I had ORS, so I had horrible migraines. I'm happy to say it is gone for good. I waited a year, all tests are negative. The endo specialist removed the peritoneal lining and the entire remnant popped out. Any time something is wedged in near the ureter, a woman can have more issues. It's gone now.
Anyway, I needed support because of adhesions. That's why I posted. There are several posts on ORS on the endo forum in March for reference.
Thank you
