The most common of these complications is infection, which occurs at a rate of 10.5% of abdominal hysterectomy, 13% of vaginal hysterectomy and 9% of laparoscopic hysterectomy. [11] There is also a low risk of long-term complications, which can include chronic pain, sexual dysfunction and bowel dysfunction.
The effect is not limited to women who have oophorectomy performed before menopause; an impact on survival is expected even for surgeries performed up to the age of 65. [26] Surgery at age 50-54 reduces the probability of survival until age 80 by 8% (from 62% to 54% survival), surgery at age 55-59 by 4%.
This method involves a doubling over of the fallopian tubes and application of a silastic band to the tube. [28] The ten year pregnancy rate is estimated at 17.7 pregnancies per 1000 procedures performed, and the ectopic pregnancy rate is estimated at 8.5 per 1000 procedures performed. [5]
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 ...

It is suggested that this approach would yield a 20-40 percent population risk reduction for ovarian cancer over the next 20 years. However, overall there is insufficient evidence to support this practice as a safe alternative and risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy remains the recommended standard of care for high-risk women.
