2-41. SALPINGO-OOPHORECTOMY
a. General. This operation is the removal of a tube and all or part of the associated ovary. It may be done in some young women who are anxious to have children after all other methods of treatment have failed to cure chronic salpingo-oophoritis, in patients with ectopic tubal gestation, or in those with tuberculosis of the adnexa or large adnexal cysts. If both tubes and ovaries are diseased, they are removed with total hysterectomy.
b. Operative Procedure.
