Salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgical procedure performed to surgically remove one or both of the ovaries along with the fallopian tubes. This surgery is often performed to treat conditions like ovarian cancer, ectopic pregnancy, or severe infections.Â
Types of Salpingo-Oophorectomy Surgery:
Preparation: Before the surgery, you will undergo a thorough medical evaluation. Your doctor may advise you to fast for a certain period and adjust any medications you’re taking. Preoperative instructions often include avoiding certain foods and medications that can increase bleeding risk.
During the Procedure: On the day of the surgery, you will be given anaesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free. The surgeon will make a small incision in the abdomen to access and remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes. The procedure can be done laparoscopically, robotically, or as an open surgery, depending on the specific circumstances and the surgeon’s recommendation.
Post-Procedure Care: After the surgery, you will be monitored and pain management and wound care instructions will be provided. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and follow your doctor’s advice on diet and medication. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to ensure a smooth recovery and address any concerns you may have.

No, if both ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed in a case of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, natural pregnancy is not possible. However, if only one ovary and fallopian tube are removed (unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy), pregnancy may still be possible with the remaining ovary and fallopian tube.
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, ensuring that no pain is felt during the procedure. Post-surgery, some discomfort and pain are considered normal, but they can be managed with pain medications and typically subside within a few days to weeks.
