Laparoscopic Salpingectomy in Chennai

You deserve a solution that protects your health without pausing your life. Whether you're healing from an ectopic pregnancy, preparing for IVF, choosing permanent contraception, or reducing hereditary cancer risk, laparoscopic salpingectomy in Chennai offers a gentle, precise path forward. Through three tiny incisions and robotic-guided accuracy, our caring surgeons remove the fallopian tube(s) while preserving your ovaries, hormones, and future possibilities. Most women walk out the same day, return to work within a week, and feel fully themselves in two, supported every step by a team that listens, explains, and truly cares.

What is Laparoscopic Salpingectomy?

This is a minimally invasive surgery to remove one or both fallopian tubes using a high-definition camera and delicate instruments passed through 3-4 small abdominal ports (each no wider than a pencil eraser).

• Your ovaries stay in place, so your natural hormones and menstrual cycles continue normally.
• The procedure is FDA-cleared for contraception, treating ectopic pregnancy, clearing blocked tubes before IVF, and lowering ovarian cancer risk in BRCA carriers.
• At Unittas, 98.7% of patients go home the same day with just a few adhesive strips, no stitches to remove, no large scars to hide.

Key Benefits of Laparoscopic Salpingectomy

The Procedure: Step by Step

The laparoscopic salpingectomy procedure steps are designed to ensure safety, precision, and minimal discomfort. At Unittas Hospital, every stage is performed by skilled laparoscopic surgeons using advanced technology and strict sterile protocols.

1. Pre-op checklist (30-45 min): IV access, single-dose prophylactic antibiotics (cefazolin 2 g), and gentle general anesthesia induction in a private surgical suite.
2. Port placement: One 5 mm umbilical port for the 4K camera; two lateral 5 mm ports for instruments. Abdomen softly inflated with CO₂ to 12 mmHg for optimal visualization.
3. Tube detachment: Blood vessels sealed using advanced bipolar energy (LigaSure™); tube carefully freed along the mesosalpinx with ultrasonic shears.
4. Specimen retrieval: Tube placed in a containment bag (EndoBag™) and extracted via a 10 mm port to prevent tissue spillage.
5. Skin closure: Incisions sealed with absorbable sutures and medical-grade adhesive.
6. Recovery room: Patients walk within 2 hours, tolerate clear liquids, and are discharged once stable with detailed home care instructions.

Preparing for Your Procedure

• Diet: Transition to light, low-residue meals 48 hours prior; clear fluids only after midnight.
• Medications: Temporarily pause blood thinners or NSAIDs under medical supervision.
• Pre-op testing: Complete blood work, ECG, and pelvic ultrasound; BRCA genetic counseling if indicated.
• Logistics: Arrange a responsible adult for discharge transport and first-night assistance at home.
• Admission essentials: Bring comfortable loose clothing, photo ID, insurance card, and any prior imaging reports for streamlined check-in.

Recovery and Aftercare

Laparoscopic salpingectomy recovery is generally smooth and much quicker than with traditional open surgery. Most patients can return home the same day or within 24 hours, depending on their overall health and the complexity of the procedure.

To ensure proper healing:

• Rest adequately for the first few days, but try gentle walking to improve circulation and prevent stiffness.
• Keep the incision sites clean and dry. Follow your doctor's instructions for wound care.
• Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for at least 1-2 weeks.
• Follow up with your surgeon as scheduled to monitor recovery and remove any stitches if needed.
• Watch for warning signs such as fever, severe pain, heavy bleeding, or redness around the incision and contact your doctor promptly if they occur.

Potential Risks and Complications

A laparoscopic salpingectomy is a safe and commonly performed procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some risks. Most are minor and easily managed with proper care. Understanding potential laparoscopic salpingectomy complications helps patients make informed decisions and know what to expect during recovery.

Possible Risks Include:

• Mild pain or discomfort in the abdomen or shoulders for a few days.
• Nausea or fatigue due to anesthesia.
• Minor bleeding or bruising near the incision sites.
• Infection at the incision or internally (rare).
• Bleeding from nearby vessels (uncommon).
• Injury to nearby organs such as the bladder or bowel (very rare).
• Adhesion formation or internal scar tissue (uncommon).
• Reaction to anesthesia (rare).
• Permanent infertility since the fallopian tubes are removed.

Most patients recover smoothly, and serious complications are rare when the surgery is performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons.
