A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is the surgical removal of both ovaries and both fallopian tubes to treat ovarian cancer. The goal of the procedure is to remove any cancerous cells and prevent the chance for recurrence. Salpingo-oophorectomy is the surgery to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Removal of one ovary and fallopian tube is called a unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. When both are removed, it’s called a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. This procedure is used to treat a variety of conditions, including ovarian cancer. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is a treatment option for women who have ovarian cancer, endometriosis, benign tumors or cysts, pelvic infection or ectopic pregnancy. It also may be used to reduce the risk of developing ovarian or breast cancer in women who are at high risk.
