Most bilateral oophorectomies (63%) are performed without any medical indication, and most (87%) are performed together with a hysterectomy. [10] Conversely, unilateral oophorectomy is commonly performed for a medical indication (73%; cyst, endometriosis, benign tumor, inflammation, etc.) and less commonly in conjunction with hysterectomy (61%).
In medicine, salpingo-oophorectomy is the removal of an ovary and its fallopian tube. [1] [2] This procedure is most frequently associated with prophylactic surgery in response to the discovery of a BRCA mutation, particularly those of the normally tumor suppressing BRCA1 gene (or, with a statistically lower negative impact, those of the tumour suppressing BRCA2 gene), which can increase the ...
If a BSO is combined with an abdominal hysterectomy (there are different methods of hysterectomy available), the procedure is commonly called a TAH-BSO: total abdominal hysterectomy with a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Sexual intercourse remains possible after salpingectomy, surgical and radiological cancer treatments, and chemotherapy.
A bilateral prophylactic salpingectomy with ovarian conservation was proposed as a “middle-ground" method of primary prevention, with the benefit of removing potential tissue of origin without the risks of surgical menopause. This method has been proposed for clinical trials in high-risk patients, but results are not currently available.

In 2016, before he took office the first time, Trump offered to spend $100 million for a new White House ballroom. He never got approval.
Oophorectomy when done alongside salpingectomy as a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, [17] or alongside hysterectomy or all together, have shown to significant decrease instances of ovarian cancer if the individual has a known history of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and if they have an identified genetic risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
After their bilateral talks, the two leaders were to hold a joint press conference scheduled for 2 p.m. EST. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is to visit Trump later in the week, amid alarm in ...
