Salpingo-oopherectomy

Laparoscopic And Minimally Invasive Procedures continued

Salpingo--oophorectomy is the surgical removal of the ovary and the fallopian tubes. The procedure is often performed at the time of hysterectomy. Some common reasons for this surgery include:

  • Ovarian cysts
  • Endometriosis
  • Recurrent pelvic pain
  • Postmenopausal

This procedure can also be performed laparoscopically. Adhesions or scar tissue, which are usually involved, can make this procedure difficult and complicated and in the past required a large abdominal incision. However, gynecologists skilled in laparoscopic surgery have perfected this technique. Patients who require only this procedure often are able to go home the same day as surgery.
