Salpingo-Oophorectomy

Are you diagnosed with gynaecological conditions such as severe endometriosis, ovarian cancer, adnexal masses, and tubo-ovarian abscesses? Your doctor may recommend a salpingo-oophorectomy in Delhi for the removal of one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes to help treat or manage these conditions.

Salpingo-Oophorectomy in Delhi

Salpingo-oophorectomy is a medical procedure used to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes. This surgery is done for the treatment of various conditions affecting the ovaries and the fallopian tubes, including ovarian cysts, cancer, and endometriosis. Salpingo-oophorectomy surgery can be done unilaterally, only removing one ovary and fallopian tube, and can also be done bilaterally, removing both the ovaries and fallopian tubes. In some cases, when the uterus needs to be removed, doctors perform a salpingo-oophorectomy in combination with a hysterectomy.

If you are considering a salpingo-oophorectomy in Delhi, come to Singh Nursing Home for a safe removal of fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Why Is Salpingo-Oophorectomy Performed?

Salpingo-oophorectomy is performed for various reasons, including

Ovarian cancer:

When a woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, instead of removing the tumour or growth, doctors perform this procedure to remove the entire ovary and the fallopian tube to prevent it from spreading to other organs.

Endometriosis:

It is a medical condition in which endometrial tissues develop outside the uterus, causing pain and discomfort. This condition requires the removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus.

Ovarian torsion:

It occurs when the ligaments supporting the ovary form a knot, thereby cutting the blood and nerve supply. Therefore, salpingo-oophorectomy is needed to restore the normal blood supply and flow.

Ectopic pregnancy:

When the implantation happens in the fallopian tubes other than the uterus, it requires the removal of the entire tube.

How To Prepare For The Procedure?

Before the procedure, you will have a detailed consultation with your healthcare provider where you will get a brief on the procedure. Your doctor also explains the consequences, complications, and benefits associated with the procedure.

To ensure you are ready for the procedure, your doctor may ask you to follow some instructions, including avoiding the consumption of blood-thinning medications, stopping eating and drinking for several hours, and undergoing certain tests and procedures before salpingo-oophorectomy.

How is Salpingo-Oophorectomy Done?

A salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed by gynaecologists and trained medical experts for the treatment of various conditions affecting the fallopian tubes and the ovaries.

This surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, which means you will be asleep during the procedure. Once you are in a sleep state, your surgeon makes incisions to access the ovaries. The size of the incision depends upon the type of technique used for the removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

This surgery can be performed through the following methods :

Abdominal Surgery: This technique is the traditional method used for the removal of fallopian tubes and ovaries. Under this, the surgeon makes a large incision in the abdomen to have a direct view and remove the organs through it.
Laparoscopic Surgery: It is a minimally invasive way to perform salpingo-oophorectomy. In this procedure, the surgeon uses a laparoscope, a thin medical instrument with a camera at the end to view the internal organs and then remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries through small incisions.
Robotic Surgery: It is an advanced and minimally invasive way used for the removal of the fallopian tubes and the ovaries. This surgical procedure is the same as laparoscopic; the only difference is that this procedure uses robotic arms for enhanced precision.
