This paper examined the outcomes of performing salpingo-oophorectomy concurrently with vaginal hysterectomy.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Three hundred fifty-five cases of vaginal hysterectomy associated with bilateral or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were reviewed to assess the safety and feasibility of adnexa removal when such was necessary or desirable. Other than one instance of hemorrhage from ovarian vessels, no serious complications, including ureteral injuries, could be assigned specifically to the removal of the adnexa. Our opinion is that the techniques for salpingo-oophorectomy at the time of vaginal hysterectomy should be taught to residents and practiced by gynecologic surgeons.
