Laparoscopic salpingectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy are minimally invasive gynecological procedures designed to remove the fallopian tube or both the fallopian tube and ovary, respectively. These surgeries are performed for various conditions, including ectopic pregnancy, hydrosalpinx, ovarian cysts, infections, endometriosis, or risk reduction in ovarian cancer.
The procedures are performed using laparoscopy, a technique where a thin, lighted camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions. This allows the gynecologist to precisely remove the affected structures while minimizing damage to surrounding organs. Laparoscopic surgery offers significant benefits over traditional open surgery, including smaller scars, less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
Salpingectomy involves the removal of one or both fallopian tubes and is often performed in cases of tubal disease, ectopic pregnancy, or to reduce the risk of certain cancers. Salpingo-oophorectomy involves removing both the fallopian tube and ovary, commonly indicated for large ovarian cysts, severe endometriosis, tumors, or prophylactic cancer risk reduction. Preoperative evaluation typically includes ultrasound, CT or MRI imaging, and blood tests to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
Our gynecology clinic offers expert laparoscopic salpingectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy with a focus on precision, safety, and patient-centered care. Comprehensive counseling is provided before and after the procedure, along with post-operative monitoring to support recovery and prevent complications.
By using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, these procedures help women effectively treat pelvic and reproductive conditions, relieve symptoms, and improve overall reproductive and gynecological health while ensuring a faster return to daily life.
