During laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy, both
fallopian tubes are removed. This procedure is performed with a
minimally invasive method that utilizes a laparoscope (a small video camera)
and small instruments inserted through small incisions.

Conditions
Treated with Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingectomy:
Laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy may be
performed in cases of fallopian tube infection, fallopian tube cancer, blocked
fallopian tube, ectopic pregnancy and ruptured fallopian tube.
An ectopic pregnancy may resolve on its own without
the need for surgery. Salpingectomy, salpingostomy and laparoscopic
salpingostomy are surgical alternatives to the procedure.
Anesthesia
with Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingectomy:
Laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy is performed
under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely
unaware during the procedure.
Potential
Complications from Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingectomy:
Possible risks following laparoscopic bilateral
salpingectomy include infection, bleeding and a negative reaction to the
anesthesia.
Prognosis
after Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingectomy:
The prognosis for a positive end result following
laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy is good. However, the patient will be
sterile.
Recovery
from Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingectomy:
Total recovery from
laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy takes three to four weeks.
