The complete removal of one or both fallopian tubes is done during a salpingectomy operation. This surgery is frequently carried out to treat conditions like ectopic pregnancy and tubal damage. It can also be used as a type of permanent birth control treatment.
On the other hand, the surgery called a salpingostomy entails making an opening in an obstructed fallopian tube. This process helps to repair the normal functioning of the fallopian tube.
Both salpingectomy and salpingostomy are surgical techniques concerning the fallopian tubes, however, salpingectomy absolutely removes the tubes, and salpingostomy repairs or restores the tubes.
Salpingectomy or Salpingostomy cost in Pakistan ranges between 1,50,000 - 2,00,000 PKR. However, the surgery price can vary depending on the location of the clinic.
The following are the conditions that may lead to these surgeries:
Salpingectomy:
Ectopic pregnancy
Tubal damage
Permanent contraception
Salpingostomy:
Tubal occlusion
Ovarian cancer
The procedure for both of these surgeries is given below:
For Salpingectomy:
Anesthesia: In order to make sure the patient is unconscious and pain-free throughout the procedure, general anesthesia is administered.
Incision: The fallopian tube is reached via a laparoscopic procedure or an abdominal incision.
Tube removal: The fallopian tube is carefully dissected and removed either partially or completely.
Closure: The incisions are sutured or closed using surgical staples or adhesive.
Recovery: The patient is monitored during the recovery period and provided with post-operative care instructions.
For Salpingostomy:
Anesthesia: The patient is given anesthesia to ensure he/she is subconscious and pain-free.
Incision: To reach the blocked fallopian tube, a laparoscopic procedure or an abdominal incision is used.
Tube evaluation: The blocked area of the fallopian tube is identified and assessed.
Tube repair: A small incision or opening is made in the blocked area to remove the obstruction and restore tube function.
Closure: The incisions are sutured or closed using surgical staples or adhesive.
Recovery: The patient is monitored in the course of the recovery period and provided with aftercare instructions.
Salpingectomy incorporates a number of risks consisting of the possibility of bleeding, contamination, harm to nearby organs, and potential consequences on fertility. Salpingostomy-related challenges, on the other hand, include potential risks such as bleeding, infection, scarring, and reblocking of the fallopian tube.
After salpingectomy or salpingostomy, patients can expect a recovery period with pain management, possible abdominal discomfort, and changes in menstrual patterns.
