For this reason, when their ovaries are removed prophylactically, the fallopian tubes must also be removed. “ Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy ” (BSO) refers to the surgical removal of both ovaries and both tubes. In women at increased risk for ovarian cancer, bilateral prophylactic oophorectomy has been shown to be a highly effective tool to lower the risk for both ovarian cancer and breast cancer.

Overview. Oophorectomy is the removal of the ovaries to treat or prevent ovarian cancer or other ovarian abnormalities. “ Prophylactic oophorectomy ” refers to the removal of healthy ovaries in women who have an elevated risk for ovarian cancer. Women with elevated hereditary risk for ovarian cancer also have an elevated risk for fallopian tube cancer.

The Fallopian tubes, also known as, uterine tubes, and salpinges (singular salpinx), are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated epithelia, leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus, via the utero-tubal junction. In non-mammalian vertebrates, the equivalent structures are called oviducts.

Oophorectomy (oh-of-uh-REK-tuh-me) is a surgical procedure to remove one or both of your ovaries. Your ovaries are almond-shaped organs that sit on each side of the uterus in your pelvis. Your ovaries contain eggs and produce hormones that control your menstrual cycle. When oophorectomy involves removing both ovaries, it's called bilateral oophorectomy. When the surgery involves removing only one ovary, it's called unilateral oophorectomy. 1  Why it's done.

The surgical removal of a Fallopian tube is called a salpingectomy. To remove both sides is a bilateral salpingectomy. An operation that combines the removal of a Fallopian tube with removal of at least one ovary is a salpingo-oophorectomy. An operation to remove a fallopian tube obstruction is called a tuboplasty.

The fallopian tube and ovary are well situated in the pelvis and nearly all operations for nonmalignant problems of these organs can be best done using the laparoscopic approach. The operations are called adnexal surgery and include: 1  Ovarian cystectomy – Removal of an ovarian cyst with preservation of the ovary. 2  Oophorectomy – Removal of the ovary. 3  Salpingectomy – Removal of the Fallopian tube. 4  Salpingotomy – Opening the tube to remove an abnormality e.g. ectopic pregnancy.

Fallopian Tube Anatomy. The fallopian tube is a narrow muscular organ arising from the uterus and ending just next to the ovary. The inner tubal lining is rich in cilia, the microscopic hair-like projections that beat in waves and move the egg to the uterus.

Sperm enter the fallopian tube through the uterus, and eggs enter from the ovarian or fimbrial end of the tube. When the fallopian tubes are blocked, sperm and eggs are kept apart and fertilization is prevented. Ligation means to apply a ligature or tie, and tubal ligation is often called “tying” the tubes.

1 Oophorectomy – Removal of the ovary. 2  Salpingectomy – Removal of the Fallopian tube. 3  Salpingotomy – Opening the tube to remove an abnormality e.g. ectopic pregnancy. 4  Adhesolysis – Freeing the tube or ovary from adhesions to reduce pain or improve fertility.

Fallopian tube cancer, which typically arises from the epithelial lining of the Fallopian tube, has historically been considered to be a very rare malignancy. Recent evidence suggests it probably represents a significant portion of what has been classified as ovarian cancer in the past.

what is it called when fallopian tube and ovary removed
When Fallopian tube and ovary are removed it is known as unilateral oophorectomy. Its called Unilateral oophorectomy when fallopian tube and ovary removed.
