Laparoscopic Salpingo-oophorectomy: Removing the Tube and Ovary Together

Combined removal of the fallopian tube and ovary

This procedure removes both the fallopian tube and ovary on one or both sides in a single laparoscopic operation. It is commonly performed alongside hysterectomy, or independently for ovarian masses, tubo-ovarian abscesses, or as part of cancer risk-reduction strategies.

Typical indications

  • Combined ovarian and tubal disease
  • Tubo-ovarian abscess not responding to antibiotics
  • Prophylactic removal in genetically high-risk patients

As with oophorectomy, hormonal implications are discussed in advance, particularly for premenopausal patients.
