4-5 DaysA Lap/Open Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of both fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) and ovaries (oophorectomy). It is performed to address various gynecological conditions, such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or cancer. The procedure may be conducted laparoscopically (minimally invasive) or through an open approach, depending on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s recommendation.
This procedure is typically recommended for individuals experiencing chronic pelvic pain, significant ovarian masses, or recurrent ovarian cysts. It is also advised for patients with a high risk of ovarian or breast cancer due to genetic predispositions, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. Additionally, it may be performed to manage certain hormonal conditions or as part of gender-affirming surgeries.
Before the procedure, a thorough evaluation is conducted, including medical history, imaging studies like ultrasound or MRI, and blood tests. Patients are advised to discontinue certain medications, such as blood thinners, and to follow fasting guidelines on the day of surgery. A preoperative consultation ensures that the patient understands the risks, benefits, and recovery expectations.

In a laparoscopic approach, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a camera is used to guide the surgeon. The fallopian tubes and ovaries are carefully detached and removed. The open approach involves a larger incision in the lower abdomen, providing direct access to the organs. Both methods are conducted under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the operation.
Recovery varies depending on the surgical approach. Laparoscopic procedures typically have a shorter recovery time, with patients resuming light activities within a week. Open surgeries may require longer hospital stays and recovery periods. Common postoperative care includes pain management, wound care, and avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks.
