👉 The term "salpingotomy" in medical terminology refers to a surgical procedure that removes the fallopian tubes from the ovaries. This is often performed during a hysterectomy, which is a surgical procedure used to treat and remove any abnormalities of the reproductive system. The purpose of this surgery is to prevent complications such as ovarian cancer or other types of endometriosis, which are conditions where tissue from the ovary grows outside of the uterus.
