Salpingostomy (Salpingostomy)

Salpingostomy: restoration of patency of the fallopian tube

Salpingostomy is a surgical procedure performed to restore patency of the fallopian tube. This procedure may be necessary for women who have tubal occlusion caused by various reasons, such as pelvic infections or sterilization.

During salpingostomy, the section of the pipe with impaired patency is removed, and then the remaining healthy sections of the pipe are restored. This allows you to restore the patency of the tube and increase the chances of pregnancy.

The operation can be performed either laparotomically (through an incision on the abdominal wall) or laparoscopically (through small incisions). Laparoscopic salpingostomy has several advantages, such as faster recovery and less trauma. However, this approach may not be sufficient for some cases, and in such situations laparotomy may be preferable.

After surgery, the woman must follow certain recommendations, such as limiting physical activity and avoiding sexual intercourse for several weeks. Antibiotic treatment may also be prescribed to prevent infection.

Salpingostomy is an effective procedure for restoring the patency of the fallopian tube in women who have tubal occlusion. However, like any surgical procedure, it is not without risks and may have complications. Therefore, before deciding to have surgery, it is necessary to discuss all possible risks and benefits with your doctor.



Salpingostomy is a surgical operation to restore the patency of the fallopian tubes in women. This operation is performed on those women whose fallopian tubes have been obstructed as a result of sterilization, inflammation or other reasons.

The fallopian tubes play an important role in the process of conception. They transport the egg to the uterus, where fertilization occurs. If the fallopian tubes are obstructed, the egg cannot reach the uterus and conception becomes impossible.

Salpingostomy involves removing part of the fallopian tube that is obstructed and restoring the integrity of the remaining healthy sections of the tube. This allows you to restore the patency of the fallopian tubes and improve the chances of conception.

This operation can be performed both on women who want to become pregnant, and on those who already have children, but want to improve their chances of successful conception. It may also be indicated for women who have previously undergone sterilization and have developed obstruction of the fallopian tubes.

The salpingostomy procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. After surgery, a woman may experience discomfort and pain for several days. However, these symptoms usually go away after a few days.

It is important to note that salpingostomy is not a panacea for all women wishing to become pregnant. It may not produce the desired results in some women, especially if the cause of the blocked fallopian tubes is unknown. In such cases, other fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be required.

Overall, salpingostomy is an effective treatment for blocked fallopian tubes that can significantly improve a woman's chances of successfully conceiving. However, before the operation, it is necessary to carefully assess the woman’s health condition and choose the most appropriate treatment method.



Salpingostomy is a surgical procedure that involves restoration of the uterine cavity in a young girl against the background of pathological changes - salpingitis, oophornitis, fallopian tube thrombosis, perforation and other ailments that limit the patency of the uterine passages and require surgical intervention.

Impaired patency of the fallopian uterine duct is dangerous for the health of a young girl, as it can provoke the appearance of inflammatory processes of a uterine nature, infertility or ectopic pregnancy, which negatively affect the functioning of the organs of the reproductive system and the general health of the reproductive organs.

The pathology can be congenital (pyosalpinx) or acquired, which occurs after inflammation of the genital organs due to a sharp decrease in the passage along the lateral uterine walls, the so-called oviducts or salikhs. There are cases when the reproductive canal, while maintaining patency, is completely closed, turning into a narrow tube with one layer of the cervical canal.
