A salpingectomy is the surgical removal of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) fallopian tubes. This procedure is commonly performed to:
Prevent ovarian cancer (especially for high-risk patients)
Treat ectopic pregnancies
Manage pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or hydrosalpinx
Serve as permanent sterilization (alternative to tubal ligation)
Reduces ovarian cancer risk by 30-50%
More effective than tubal ligation for sterilization
Preserves ovarian function (unlike oophorectomy)
May improve IVF success when removing hydrosalpinx
Standard surgical risks (infection, bleeding)
Very rare damage to nearby organs
Anesthesia complications
Small chance of persistent pain
