Salpingooophorectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or both fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) and ovaries (oophorectomy). This operation is often performed to treat conditions such as ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancies, or certain types of cancer. It can be done laparoscopically or through open surgery, depending on the patient's situation. The procedure may impact hormonal balance and fertility, so it is usually considered carefully.
