A salpingectomy is a surgical procedure where one or both of a woman's fallopian tubes are removed. It's performed to treat certain conditions of the fallopian tubes and ectopic pregnancies and as a preventative measure for women at higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. At Middlesex Health, our surgeons are trained to perform salpingectomy through a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approach, which reduces bleeding and allows for a faster recovery time.
