Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which both ovaries and both fallopian tubes are removed using laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques. This procedure is commonly performed for the treatment or prevention of various gynecological conditions, including ovarian cysts, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, or to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in high-risk patients.

During laparoscopic BSO, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) along with specialized surgical instruments. The surgeon then carefully separates and removes the ovaries and fallopian tubes through these small ports. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic surgery typically results in less postoperative pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery, with many patients returning to normal activities within about two to three weeks.

The procedure is indicated in conditions such as suspicious ovarian masses, severe pelvic disease, or in women with genetic risk factors for ovarian cancer. Removal of both ovaries eliminates natural hormone production, which may lead to surgical menopause if the patient has not already reached menopause. This can cause symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, or mood changes.

Although laparoscopic BSO is generally safe, potential risks include bleeding, infection, injury to surrounding organs (such as bladder or bowel), blood clots, or complications related to anesthesia. These complications are relatively uncommon but should always be discussed with the surgical team before the procedure.

Overall, laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is considered an effective and modern surgical approach with benefits of minimal invasiveness, shorter hospital stay, and quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional open surgery.
