Is Salpingostomy and Salpingotomy the Same?

The primary difference between a salpingotomy and a salpingostomy is that, in the former, the fallopian tube is closed by primary intention; in the latter, the tube is allowed to close by secondary intention after hemostasis is achieved.

What is the other name of salpingectomy?

When the two procedures are done at the same time, it's called a salpingectomy-oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy. Depending on the reasons for the surgery, salpingo-oophorectomy is sometimes combined with hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).

What is laparoscopic salpingostomy?

A laparoscopic salpingectomy is surgery to remove one or both fallopian tubes. This type of surgery uses small incisions. Eggs will no longer be able to travel through the removed tubes.
