salpingectomy

Rate of fertility may be better following salpingostomy than salpingectomy.

The surgical removal of a Fallopian tube is called a salpingectomy.

It may require a salpingectomy (removal of a tube).

To remove both sides is a bilateral salpingectomy.

An ectopic pregnancy can be removed from a fallopian tube by using salpingostomy or salpingectomy.

Carrie Buck was operated upon, receiving a compulsory salpingectomy (a form of tubal ligation).

He is well known for introducing salpingectomy in 1883 as the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, a procedure that has saved countless lives since then.

Heterotopic pregnancy is treated with surgical removal of the ectopic gestation by salpingectomy or salpingostomy.

On January 19, 1959, doctors performed a bilateral salpingectomy (destruction of the fallopian tubes) on Muir.

Although there are numerous operations which may render one sterile, vasectomy in the male and salpingectomy in the female are considered the least radical.

A bilateral salpingectomy will lead to sterility, and was used for that purpose, however less invasive procedures have become available as tubal occlusion procedures.

Other indications for a salpingectomy include infected tubes, (as in a hydrosalpinx) or as part of the surgical procedure for tubal cancer.

The most popular were bilateral salpingectomy and oophorectomies for the female students and vasectomies and castration for the male students.

Both salpingostomy and salpingectomy can be done either through a small incision using laparoscopy or through a larger open abdominal incision (laparotomy).

As long as you have one healthy fallopian tube, salpingostomy (small tubal slit) and salpingectomy (part of a tube removed) have about the same effect on your future fertility.

Oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries) and salpingectomy (surgical removal of the Fallopian tubes) are strongly recommended to women with BRCA mutations.

There are different types of surgery for a tubal ectopic pregnancy-when possible, only a slit is made in the fallopian tube (salpingostomy), rather than removing a section of the tube (salpingectomy).

Surgeons use laparoscopy or laparotomy to gain access to the pelvis and can either incise the affected Fallopian and remove only the pregnancy (salpingostomy) or remove the affected tube with the pregnancy (salpingectomy).

Non-infertile patients who suffer from severe chronic pain due to hydrosalpinx formation that is not relieved by pain management may consider surgical removal of the affected tube(s) (salpingectomy) or even a hysterectomy with removal of the tubes, possibly ovaries.

Surgical methods to remove the pregnancy include cornual evacuation, incision of the cornua with removal of the pregnancy (cornuostomy), resection of the cornual area or a cornual wedge resection, typically combined with an ipsilateral salpingectomy, and hysterectomy.

Most punitive sterilization laws, including the Oklahoma statute, prescribed vasectomy as the method of rendering the individual infertile (which, unlike castration, does not affect sexual urge or function) in males, and salpingectomy in females (a relatively invasive operation, requiring heavy sedation, and hence with more risks to personal well-being).

Using the Thomistic Principle of Totality (removal of a pathological part to preserve the life of the person) and the Doctrine of Double Effect, the only moral action in an ectopic pregnancy where a woman's life is directly threatened is the removal of the tube containing the human embryo (salpingectomy).
