Question: what is a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oophorectomy?
Answer: “Abdominal” is the surgical technique that will be used. This means the surgery will be done through an incision in your abdomen. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is surgery to remove both of your ovaries and fallopian tubes. The hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy will both be done during one procedure.
