A Review of Laparoscopic Salpingo-Oophorectomy: Technique and Perioperative Considerations.

Hysterectomy is the most frequently performed major gynecologic surgery in women in the United States. This procedure is often accompanied by unilateral or bilateral removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Although the overall incidence of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy has been shown to be in a decreasing trend in recent years, it is possibly 1 of the most common scenarios that the gynecologic surgeon will encounter. As the field of minimally invasive surgery continues to expand, it is expected that most of these surgeries will be performed using a laparoscopic approach. In fact, data support that adnexal surgery is more likely to take place during a laparoscopic hysterectomy when compared with abdominal or vaginal routes. This article reviews the basic surgical principles and relevant anatomic relations that every pelvic surgeon should know and aims to serve as a guide for effectively and proficiently performing a salpingo-oophorectomy at the time of hysterectomy.
