Laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy
The removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes is collectively known as salpingo – oophorectomy. Removal of one ovary and fallopian tube known as unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and when both are removed, it’s called a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Any diseased condition of ovary and tube are the reasons for this surgery.
A special surgical entity known as risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy is done for women who are having a particularly high risk for ovarian cancer in which healthy ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed.
