Salpingectomy

Salpingectomy - surgical removal of the fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes (fallopian tubes) are thin tube-like organs that connect the ovaries to the uterus. They carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.

Salpingectomy is usually performed for the following reasons:

1. Sterilization. An operation in which both tubes are removed is the most effective method of contraception, since in this case, mature eggs can no longer pass from the ovaries to the uterus.

2. Treatment of inflammatory diseases of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis).

3. Treatment of ectopic pregnancy, when a fertilized egg attaches and develops not in the uterus, but in the tube.

4. Prevention and treatment of cancer of the fallopian tubes.

Depending on the purpose of the operation, salpingectomy can be unilateral or bilateral. The effect of the operation is in most cases persistent and irreversible.

Salpingectomy is a radical method of contraception that involves surgical excision of both fallopian tubes. As a rule, this operation is performed after conservative treatment of salpingitis - inflammation of the pelvic organs, which is caused by salpedia or inflammatory sexually transmitted diseases. Salpogingectomy involves removing the fallopian tubes along with their stump, after which small wounds and sutures are applied over them. The surgical approaches involved achieve very high success rates in restoring fertility in women. In some cases, complications arise after surgery (for example, adhesions), so systematic monitoring of patients by a doctor will be required. This operation may lead to a relapse of the disease. To remove a partial stump, they resort to tubal ligation, which consists of externally cutting the fallopian tubes to prevent the passage of eggs into the fallopian tube, followed by restoring the patency of the uterine appendages.

**Salpingectomy** is a radical surgical operation on the pelvic organs, also known as bilateral salpingo-oopexy, unilateral salpingectomy, etc. There are 2 types of salpingectomy: removal of the ovarian appendages and fallopian tubes, removal of the fallopium and tubes. The method is used in the treatment of diseases of the uterine appendages, tubal infertility, ectopic pregnancy, obstruction of the fallopian meatus, torsion of the base of the endometrial or terminal part of the phallus, as well as the lack of effect of treatment using a conservative method. Before the operation, a thorough examination, laboratory and instrumental control, consultations with a therapist and an endocrinologist, checking the compatibility of medications, and determining the blood group are carried out. During the operating room, a general anesthetic is administered, which renders the patient unconscious. After this, the uterus and appendages are visualized. They begin the operation. Its duration depends on the patient’s condition, the doctor’s qualifications, equipment and anesthesia. As a rule, the fallopeia with the filled ovarian appendages is removed. It is possible to perform a salingectomy without removing the tube with one
