Salpingostotomy

Salpingostotomy is a surgical operation that is performed on the fallopian tubes (salpings) to restore their patency and eliminate infertility. It involves removing part of the salpinx (uterine end), creating a new opening and connecting it to the abdominal cavity.

Salpingostotomy is performed for various diseases of the fallopian tubes, such as obstruction, torsion, ruptures, adhesions, etc. The operation can be indicated for both women and men who suffer from infertility due to obstruction of the fallopian tubes.

Before the operation, the patient undergoes an examination, including ultrasound, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging and other diagnostic methods. This allows you to determine the exact location and extent of damage to the fallopian tubes and choose the most effective treatment method.

During the operation, the surgeon removes part of the salpinx, creates a new hole and connects it to the abdominal cavity through a small incision. After this, the fallopian tubes are restored and become more passable for sperm and eggs.

After surgery, the patient may require antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection and inflammation. It is also recommended to take painkillers to relieve pain.

However, salpingostotomy is a serious surgical procedure and may have its own risks, such as bleeding, infection, and damage to other organs and tissues. Therefore, before undergoing surgery, it is necessary to carefully evaluate all possible risks and benefits, and also consult with an experienced doctor.

Salpingostotomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat diseases of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It involves cutting the wall of the fallopian tube and creating a hole in it through which the egg can pass.

Salpingostotomy can be performed both for preventive purposes and for the treatment of various diseases. For example, it can be used for infertility caused by blocked fallopian tubes, or for endometriosis, a disease in which cells of the endometrium (the inner layer of the uterus) grow outside of it.

The salpingostotomy procedure can be performed either on an outpatient basis or in a hospital setting. It is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes from 1 to 3 hours. After the operation, the patient may remain in the hospital for several days to monitor her condition.

One of the main advantages of salpingostotomy is that it increases the chances of successful conception and birth of a child. However, like any other medical procedure, it has its risks and can cause complications. Therefore, before performing salpingostotomy, it is necessary to carefully evaluate all possible risks and benefits of the procedure.
