The Fallopian tubes (salpingectomy), uterus (hysterectomy), and the omentum (omentectomy) may also be removed. Heterotopic pregnancy is treated with surgical removal of the ectopic gestation by salpingectomy or salpingostomy. The surgical removal of a fallopian tube is called a salpingectomy. Carrie Buck was operated upon, receiving a compulsory salpingectomy (a form of tubal ligation). The most common techniques for partial bilateral salpingectomy are the Pomeroy or Parkland procedures. To remove both tubes is a bilateral salpingectomy. The types of sterilization would include vasectomies, salpingectomy, and other types as well. Sexual intercourse remains possible after salpingectomy, surgical and radiological cancer treatments, and chemotherapy. It may require a salpingectomy (removal of a tube). Salpingectomy is different from and predates both salpingostomy and salpingotomy. Salpingectomy refers to the surgical removal of a Fallopian tube.
