What is Salpingectomy Surgery?

Salpingectomy removes one or both fallopian tubes and is often performed to treat conditions such as ectopic pregnancy, hydrosalpinx, infection, or as a preventative measure for certain cancers. It may also be recommended to improve fertility outcomes before in vitro fertilization (IVF) or to reduce the risk of recurrent pelvic infections.

As an expert in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic laparoscopic techniques, he performs salpingectomy with unmatched precision to minimize scarring, reduce pain, and speed recovery.

Types of Salpingectomy Surgery

Schedule Appointment
Hydrosalpinx or Hydrosalpinges
For women with hydrosalpinx or hydrosalpinges, fluid-filled, damaged fallopian tubes that can cause pelvic pain and reduce fertility, salpingectomy can restore pelvic health and improve IVF success rates. Dr. Siedhoff uses robotic laparoscopy or conventional laparoscopy to remove the affected tube while protecting surrounding reproductive structures.
Infertility
When damaged or blocked fallopian tubes contribute to infertility, a salpingectomy can improve the chances of conception, particularly before IVF treatment. Dr. Siedhoff performs this procedure using robotic laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, or, in select cases, hysteroscopy to remove the affected tube with exceptional precision. His minimally invasive techniques help create an optimal environment for pregnancy. Other procedures that can also improve fertility include myomectomy, excision of endometriosis, lysis of adhesions, ovarian cystectomy, and uterine isthmocele repair.
Cervical Insufficiency
When damaged, blocked, or diseased fallopian tubes are preventing pregnancy, a salpingectomy can improve fertility outcomes, especially before IVF. For this procedure, Dr. Siedhoff uses robotic laparoscopy or conventional laparoscopy to remove the affected tube, effectively optimizing the pelvic environment for conception. Other minimally invasive procedures for cervical insufficiency include trans-abdominal cerclage, myomectomy, excision of endometriosis, lysis of adhesions, ovarian cystectomy, and uterine isthmocele repair.
