Salpingectomy in London — Fallopian Tube Removal
Consultant-led · day surgery · Harley Street, London
A salpingectomy removes one or both fallopian tubes — for an ectopic pregnancy, damaged tubes, or to reduce ovarian cancer risk. At Minor Surgery UK a consultant gynaecologist performs it by keyhole surgery in London, from £3,600, under general anaesthetic. Most patients return to normal activity within one to two weeks.
What the procedure involves
Through small incisions, one or both fallopian tubes are removed with a camera and fine instruments. Removing the tubes is increasingly chosen because it can lower the risk of ovarian cancer.
When it is needed
Salpingectomy is used for ectopic pregnancy, blocked or damaged tubes, hydrosalpinx before IVF, or risk reduction. Your consultant will explain the effect on fertility for your situation.
Recovery
Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks after keyhole surgery, with a gradual return to full activity.
Cost
Salpingectomy starts from £3,600 all-inclusive (medical procedure — VAT-exempt).
