What is a Salpingectomy?

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)

Types

1. Laparoscopic Salpingectomy

  • Minimally invasive approach (3 small incisions)
  • Outpatient procedure (go home same day)
  • Recovery: 1-2 weeks

2. Robotic-Assisted Salpingectomy

  • Enhanced precision and visualization
  • Ideal for complex cases (severe adhesions)
  • Similar recovery to laparoscopic

3. Open Abdominal Salpingectomy

  • Traditional large incision
  • Used in emergency cases (ruptured ectopic pregnancy)
  • Recovery: 4-6 weeks

Key Benefits

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

Recovery Timeline

  • Hospital stay: Outpatient (laparoscopic) or 1-3 days (open)
  • Pain management: 3-7 days of medication
  • Activity restrictions:
    • No heavy lifting for 2-4 weeks
    • Avoid intercourse for 2 weeks
  • Return to work: 1-3 weeks (depending on procedure)

Potential Risks

Standard surgical risks (infection, bleeding)
Very rare damage to nearby organs
Anesthesia complications
Small chance of persistent pain
