There are many reasons for this operation but it is usually done to treat ovarian cancer.The ovaries are removed and also fallopian tubes are removed as it has been shown in recent studies that some cancers start there as well. The cervix is removed for cervical cancer and the uterus for uterine cancer. Some women choose to have this operation if they are at high risk of ovarian cancer especially those with BRCA 1 and " heredity genes or strong familial links to ovarian and Breast cancer. A unilateral salpingo oopherectomy may be dome for ectopic pregancy where the egg matures in the fallopian tube.
