Southern Cross Gillies Hospital - Gynaecology
Private Surgical Service, Obstetrics and Gynaecology
This is where you will come to have your surgery performed. The visits to your surgeon before and after surgery will be at their consulting rooms.
Salpingectomy
Laparoscopic: several small incisions (cuts) are made in your abdomen (stomach) and a thin tube with a tiny camera attached (laparoscope) inserted, allowing the surgeon a view of your fallopian tubes. Small surgical instruments are introduced through the other cuts and are used to remove part or all of the fallopian tube.
Abdominal (laparotomy): an incision is made in your abdomen and part or all of the fallopian tube is removed.
