Women often seek consultation regarding adnexectomy due to long-lasting or worsening lower abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities, as well as after detection of changes in the ovaries and fallopian tubes based on ultrasound or other examinations.
Sometimes patients come for a second opinion following recommendations for surgery or when conservative treatment has been ineffective.
Obstetrician-gynecologist Roman Mikhailovich Banakhevich carefully reviews complaints and medical history, evaluates previous examinations, and, if necessary, orders additional tests. He explains whether surgery is necessary, discusses possible alternatives and the extent of the procedure.
At the end of the consultation, the patient gains a clear understanding of the next steps, guidelines for preparation, and the recovery period.
The doctor pays close attention to a comprehensive assessment of the condition and considers the complexity of the situation to select the optimal treatment plan.
When to Discuss Surgery with a Doctor
The decision to undergo surgical treatment is based not only on a single symptom or test result but also takes into account the overall clinical situation and combination of complaints. Surgery is considered in cases where it may help improve the condition or relieve symptoms, but other possible approaches are always evaluated as well. It is important to discuss options with your doctor to understand whether a surgical approach is necessary in your particular case.
You should consider discussing the possibility of surgery with gynecological surgeon Roman Mikhailovich Banakhevich if you notice:
- pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen that persists for a long time
- symptoms that recur or worsen despite treatment
- menstrual cycle disturbances that cause concern or interfere with daily life
- diagnostic results (ultrasound, CT) that recommend considering surgical treatment
- surgery has already been discussed, but you want a second opinion
- difficulties in everyday activities or work due to your condition
- detected changes in the ovaries or fallopian tubes that require a doctor's evaluation
- the problem persists or returns after treatment
- you want to understand if surgery can be avoided
- your doctor referred you for a consultation to clarify the treatment strategy
- you have questions about treatment options and their impact on quality of life
- you feel your condition affects your sleep or physical activity
Having one or more of these factors does not automatically mean surgery is necessary. The decision is always made after careful evaluation of complaints, physical examination, and analysis of tests. During the consultation, the doctor will explain possible treatment options and help determine what is most appropriate in your situation.
Urgent Medical Attention / Emergency Conditions
Some symptoms require immediate medical evaluation and should not wait for a scheduled appointment. In such situations, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible to rule out serious conditions. The decision about surgery is not the primary task at this moment — first, the condition needs to be assessed and potential complications prevented.
- Sudden onset or sharply increasing severe pain in the lower abdomen
- Heavy or progressively increasing bleeding
- High fever accompanied by significant deterioration of overall condition
- Sudden weakness, dizziness, or near-fainting episodes
- Difficulty or inability to urinate
- Rapidly increasing swelling or redness in the abdominal area
- Worsening condition following a recent procedure or surgery
If you experience any of these symptoms, do not wait for a routine consultation; urgent medical care is needed. At our clinic, it is possible to call a doctor to your home to receive a professional assessment of your condition.
What the Surgery Entails and What Problem It Addresses
Surgery is one of the methods used to solve a specific medical issue aimed at eliminating or reducing a problem. The purpose of the intervention depends on the particular situation and the patient's characteristics, so the decision to perform surgery is made by the doctor after thorough examination. This approach helps select the appropriate treatment option considering individual circumstances.
What the Surgery Entails
During adnexectomy surgery, the doctor removes one or both adnexa of the uterus — the ovary and fallopian tube — if they are damaged or causing problems. The purpose of the surgery is to eliminate the source of pain, inflammation, or affected tissue, as well as to prevent possible complications and restore the normal condition of pelvic organs.
What Problem the Surgery Addresses
- Removal of damaged or altered tissues of the ovary and fallopian tube
- Elimination of the source of chronic pain or discomfort
- Reduction of the risk of complications associated with the affected organs
- Restoration of the anatomy and function of pelvic organs
- Improvement in quality of life and overall well-being
- Creation of conditions for further monitoring or treatment
- Providing an opportunity to clarify the diagnosis based on surgical results
The extent and goals of the surgery may vary among patients depending on their condition. During the consultation, the doctor will explain the specific objective of the surgery in your case and how necessary it is considering the clinical situation. Surgery is recommended only when the expected benefits are justified and can help resolve the problem.
When Surgery Is Indicated and When Other Options May Be Possible
The decision to perform surgery is not based on a single symptom or test result but takes into account the entire clinical picture. The doctor evaluates the patient's complaints, the severity of the problem, examination findings, results of previous treatments, as well as the patient's goals and preferences. For some women, surgery may be the optimal option, while others may begin with observation or alternative approaches.
When Surgery May Be Considered
- presence of pronounced and stable symptoms that interfere with daily life
- deterioration in quality of life due to the condition
- when previously used treatment methods have not yielded the desired result
- recurring or worsening episodes of the disease
- examination results showing progression of changes
- risk of complications or impaired organ function
- identification of an anatomical problem that is difficult to resolve without intervention
When Other Options May Be Considered
- symptoms are moderate, controlled, and not worsening
- examination results show no signs of an urgent problem
- possibility to monitor the condition and assess its progression
- opportunity to try or continue conservative treatment methods
- need to clarify the diagnosis or rule out reversible causes
- taking into account age, general condition, and future plans, surgery may be postponed
- if the patient wishes to explore options more thoroughly and make a gradual decision
It is important to remember that the purpose of the consultation is not simply to prescribe surgery but to choose a justified treatment option. The doctor will explain in detail why surgery might be recommended, postponed, or unnecessary at this stage. If needed, seeking a second opinion before intervention is a normal and useful practice.
How a Doctor Makes the Decision About Surgery
The decision regarding the necessity of surgery is made after a comprehensive assessment of the situation, not solely based on the diagnosis name or a single test. A doctor compares the patient's complaints, physical examination findings, test results, condition progression, and possible alternatives while considering the patient’s overall health. The goal is to choose not just surgery, but the most justified treatment strategy.
What the Doctor Evaluates
- The severity of symptoms and their impact on daily life
- Duration and changes in the condition over time
- The effect of treatments or observation already performed
- Results of examinations conducted and their reliability
- Risk of organ function deterioration, complications, or disease progression
- Availability of other treatment options and their appropriateness
- Overall health status and presence of comorbidities
- Patient’s goals and priorities, including preservation of function and lifestyle
Why Decisions May Differ Among Patients
Having similar signs or a diagnosis does not mean all patients receive the same approach. The doctor considers how pronounced the complaints are, test results, the patient’s age and general health, as well as prior treatment experience and the patient’s expectations. All these factors influence the choice of the optimal treatment strategy.
During the consultation, the doctor explains the reasoning behind the decision in clear language. Patients are informed not only whether surgery is necessary but also why a particular option was chosen. Sometimes additional tests or a period of observation are required for a final decision.
How the Consultation Proceeds
A consultation with a surgeon is an opportunity to thoroughly discuss your complaints, assess your current condition, and develop a plan for further steps. The scope of necessary examinations is determined individually, and the doctor's task is to understand which approach will be most appropriate in your situation.
- The doctor clarifies what is bothering you, how long the symptoms have been present, and what measures have already been taken
- Reviews the history of the problem and the progression of changes
- Examines the results of any existing tests, considering their completeness and quality
- Performs a physical examination and clinical assessment if needed
- Explains the most likely causes and identifies points requiring further clarification
- Decides if additional studies are necessary based on indications
- Discusses treatment options: surgery, observation, or other methods
- Outlines the next steps — preparation, follow-up, repeat visits, or seeking a second opinion
If this is your first time consulting, special attention is given to analyzing symptoms, medical history, and choosing the direction for examination. If surgery has already been recommended, it's possible to discuss a second opinion and potential alternatives.
This approach helps you understand what is happening, what options exist, and how best to proceed without unnecessary anxiety.
Preoperative Examination
Before an adnexectomy, it is important for the doctor not only to confirm the indications for surgery but also to assess the patient’s overall condition. The extent of the examination depends on the complexity of the procedure, comorbidities, age, and other factors. The goal of these tests is to ensure maximum safety and thorough preparation, not to order all possible tests indiscriminately.
Why Preoperative Examination Is Needed
- to confirm that the surgery is truly necessary in your case
- to clarify the specifics of the problem and the scope of the intervention
- to assess overall health and the presence of any accompanying factors
- to identify potential risks to the safety of the surgery and recovery
- to determine whether additional specialist consultations or tests are required
- to adjust the preparation plan based on all gathered data
What Tests Might Be Needed
Before an adnexectomy, basic blood and urine tests may be required, along with an electrocardiogram (ECG) and an ultrasound of the pelvic organs to clarify their condition. Depending on indications, the doctor may order additional tests, such as computed tomography or consultations with other specialists. The scope and list of examinations are determined individually based on the specific clinical situation.
What to Bring to the Consultation and Preoperative Appointment
To assess your condition, it is recommended to bring results of previous tests and analyses, if available, medical records and reports, and a list of medications you are taking. It is also important to inform the doctor about any comorbidities, allergies, and prior surgeries. If you have images or electronic copies of examinations, it is advisable to bring them for a more comprehensive evaluation.
The final list of examinations is determined by the doctor considering your condition and the surgical plan. If some tests have already been performed, it is better to bring them to the appointment to avoid repetition and clarify details. This approach helps prepare the surgery as safely and effectively as possible.
What You Can and Cannot Do Before Surgery
Before surgery, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and avoid making any changes to the treatment plan on your own. Some simple actions can help you go through the preparation phase more calmly and safely. Individual instructions may vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's condition.
What You Can Do
- Gather and have your examination results on hand
- Prepare a list of current medications and significant medical conditions
- Clarify organizational questions about the surgery in advance
- Follow your doctor's recommendations on preparation and routine
- Keep track of any changes in your well-being if it is important for your doctor

- Bring identification documents and your insurance policy
- Note any changes in your condition and report new symptoms to your doctor
- Prepare for a possible short stay in the clinic after surgery
- Confirm the time and place of the surgery, as well as the clinic’s contact phone numbers in advance
If you have any questions about preparation, do not hesitate to ask them beforehand. Remember, do not change your medication regimen without your doctor's approval.
How the Surgery Proceeds
The course of the surgery depends on its type, the extent of the intervention, and the individual characteristics of the patient. All important stages and the procedure format are discussed in advance with the doctor. Adnexectomy is usually performed in an inpatient setting or a day surgery unit, depending on the complexity and the patient’s condition. If necessary, anesthesia is used, selected with consideration for safety and comfort.
Main Stages
- processing and verification of documents and examination results
- meeting with the doctor to clarify the surgery plan
- preparing the patient for the procedure
- performing the surgery itself
- monitoring the condition after the intervention
- discussing initial recommendations with the doctor
- transferring to a ward or observation, preparing for discharge
What Happens After the Surgery
After the surgery, the patient remains under the observation of medical staff for some time to assess well-being and condition. The doctor monitors the body's early responses and provides recommendations for further care and restrictions. The specific postoperative observation routine depends on the extent of the intervention and the patient’s overall condition.
Details of the surgery process and the format of the hospital stay are discussed beforehand with the doctor. This helps to understand what to expect on the day of the procedure and what the next steps will be afterward. Such an approach reduces uncertainty and helps the patient prepare calmly for the surgery.
Anesthesia / Pain Management
The question of pain management during adnexectomy is discussed in advance to select the most appropriate method considering the type of surgery and the patient’s condition. The choice of anesthesia depends on the extent of the intervention, overall health, and individual characteristics. The medical team ensures monitoring and safety at all stages of the procedure.
Possible Options
- General anesthesia — where the patient is put into a deep sleep
- Regional anesthesia — pain relief for a specific area of the body
- Sedation — medicated relaxation and light drowsiness for comfort
- Local anesthesia — numbing a specific patch of skin or tissues
Factors Influencing the Choice
- The extent and nature of the surgery
- Location of the surgical area
- Overall health and presence of chronic conditions
- Age and individual patient characteristics
- Experience with previous surgeries and reactions to anesthesia
- Current medications and allergic reactions
- Results of preoperative examinations
- Continuous medical monitoring during anesthesia
Pain management is discussed with the doctor and anesthesiologist before the operation. The patient is informed about the chosen method and the reasons behind it to ensure maximum safety and comfort. The anesthesiology team accompanies the patient from preparation through awakening, monitoring the condition at all stages.
What to Expect Immediately After Surgery
Immediately after an adnexectomy, the patient remains under the care of medical staff. Further management depends on the extent of the surgery, type of anesthesia, and overall condition. The doctor carefully evaluates the patient's well-being and initial signs of recovery before transferring her home, to a ward, or under continued observation.
What Usually Happens in the First Few Hours
- continuous monitoring of vital signs and overall condition
- assessment of response after anesthesia and awakening
- pain control and administration of analgesics if necessary
- assistance with the first sips of fluids and possible mobilization
- explanation of initial restrictions and next steps in treatment
- decision on the timing of patient transfer or discharge
What Sensations Are Possible
In the first few hours after surgery, drowsiness, weakness, and mild discomfort in the surgical area are common. Patients may experience tightness, dry mouth, or slight nausea. It is important for the patient to rest, while the doctor monitors the condition and adjusts care as needed.
The early postoperative period is under constant supervision by doctors and medical staff. Before discharge or transfer, the patient receives recommendations and explanations about the next recovery stages. This helps her feel calmer and more confident after the operation.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery after adnexectomy depends on the extent of the surgery, the overall condition of the body, and individual healing characteristics. The timing and sensations may vary among different patients. The goal of rehabilitation is to help safely return to usual activities and routines, rather than merely waiting out the recovery period.
Factors Influencing Recovery Time
- the extent and type of surgery performed
- the access method and surgical technique
- overall health condition before surgery
- presence of comorbidities
- patient's age
- individual tissue healing traits
- adherence to doctor's care and activity recommendations
- level of physical activity after surgery
Important Aspects During the Recovery Period
- following the recommended balance of rest and activity
- gradual increase of physical exertion
- monitoring well-being and bodily signals
- attending scheduled follow-up appointments
- careful care of the surgical site
- discussing with the doctor the timing of returning to work, sports, and other activities
- following specialist advice for a comfortable recovery
Returning to Normal Activity
The timeline for returning to full work, usual loads, and other activities is determined individually based on each case. The doctor usually provides guidelines on how to gradually expand the activity level and when it is safe to resume a normal lifestyle. Follow-up visits help timely evaluate recovery progress and adjust recommendations.
Recovery is an important stage after surgery that requires attention and time. Regular medical check-ups and adhering to recommendations help make this period as safe and comfortable as possible.
Possible Risks and Limitations
Any surgical procedure is associated with potential risks and limitations. That is why a thorough evaluation of indications, examination, and discussion of the treatment plan are conducted prior to the operation. The doctor's task is to weigh the expected benefits against the possible risks in order to choose the most appropriate approach.
What Is Important to Understand About Risks
Risks are not necessarily complications that will definitely occur, but factors taken into account in advance. Many limitations are related to the patient's initial condition, comorbidities, anatomical features, the extent of the surgery, and specifics of recovery. The decision to proceed with the intervention is made after careful consideration of all these factors.
What Risks and Limitations the Doctor Considers
- The likelihood of bleeding during or after the surgery
- The possibility of inflammatory processes in the postoperative period
- Individual reaction to anesthesia and specifics of pain management
- Particulars of tissue healing in the specific patient
- Limitations related to the extent of the intervention and recovery times
- Influence of comorbidities and ongoing medications
- The possibility that the surgery may not address all aspects of the problem immediately
Discussion of risks is a standard part of preparation for surgery. The doctor explains what specifically to pay attention to in your case so that you can make an informed decision. This approach helps you feel more confident and calm before the procedure.

What tasks does a doctor perform as a surgeon
A surgeon is not only a specialist who performs operations. During a consultation, they address issues of diagnosis, treatment method selection, risk assessment, and preparation for surgery. The doctor's task is to offer a well-founded solution that takes into account all specifics of the situation, rather than simply recommending surgery.
In a consultation regarding adnexectomy (salpingo-oophorectomy), the surgeon helps solve several important tasks:
- Reviews the patient's complaints, symptoms, and medical history
- Assesses whether surgery is truly necessary in this case
- Analyzes the results of examinations already performed and their completeness
- Determines the need for additional tests based on indications
- Explains possible treatment options, including conservative methods
- Chooses the extent and approach of the surgery if the intervention is recommended
- Takes into account comorbidities, medications, and risk factors
- Explains the plan of action: preparation, surgery, postoperative care
- Monitors the patient after surgery and evaluates recovery
- Provides a second opinion on the proposed surgery if necessary
The doctor assists throughout the entire process—from accurate problem assessment to postoperative monitoring. The patient receives a clear rationale for the actions taken and a transparent understanding of the next steps, making the treatment process more transparent and balanced.

Case Studies
Initial Consultation and Diagnostic Evaluation
A young woman came with complaints of intermittent lower abdominal pain and irregular menstruation. The physician carefully listened to her complaints, clarified her medical history, and suggested additional examinations to understand the nature of the problem. Based on the ultrasound and test results, it was decided to monitor her condition and perform follow-up assessments. Surgery was discussed as a potential option if symptoms persisted or worsened. The patient remained under observation, with a plan for further diagnostics and treatment.
Previous Treatment with Insufficient Effect
A middle-aged patient who had undergone conservative treatment for an ovarian cyst came with complaints of increased pain and enlargement of the mass. The doctor reviewed the previous treatment methods and examinations, then proposed discussing the possibility of laparoscopic removal of the cystic formation. The decision regarding surgical intervention was made considering all factors and after detailed explanation of the options. After surgery, the patient was monitored to assess recovery and prevent recurrence.
Comorbid Factors and a More Complex Clinical Situation
An elderly patient with chronic illnesses presented with a diagnosis of a cystic formation and adhesions in the adnexal area. The physician took into account the comorbidities, assessed the risks, and balanced the safety of surgery against potential benefits. A plan was developed for preparation and gradual treatment involving surgery under condition of close monitoring. The intervention was discussed as part of a comprehensive strategy, including the recovery period and follow-up.
Choice Between Surgery and Other Approaches / Second Opinion
A young woman came after being recommended surgery for fallopian tube obstruction. The doctor thoroughly explained the causes of the problem, possible treatment options, and prospects for non-surgical approaches. Instead of immediate intervention, a strategy of observation and further diagnostics was chosen. Some time later, a follow-up appointment was held, during which the next steps were discussed with the patient, including the possibility of surgery if conservative methods failed.
