Laparoscopic Surgery of Ovaries and/or Fallopian Tubes Overview

The adnexa refers to the area adjacent to the uterus, containing the ovaries, fallopian tubes (also known as oviducts), and connective tissues. Adnexal surgery is used to address issues with these structures. While open surgery can be performed, involving a larger incision for direct visualization and manipulation of tissues, laparoscopic surgery is usually preferred. This minimally invasive procedure involves making several small incisions in the abdominal wall. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas, and a light and camera are inserted to provide a clear view. Specially designed surgical instruments are then inserted through the incisions to perform the procedure.

One common type of adnexal surgery is tubal ligation (commonly known as "having your tubes tied"). This can be achieved in several ways. In some cases, a device is used to close off the fallopian tubes. In other cases, part of the fallopian tube is removed (transection) or burned away (fulguration).

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled growths on the ovary. While these cysts are often harmless and asymptomatic, they can sometimes cause symptoms. Laparoscopic surgery can be used to remove ovarian cysts. In some cases, the entire ovary is removed, while in others, only the portion of the ovary containing the cyst is removed. If problematic cysts are present on both ovaries, both ovaries may be removed, which will immediately induce menopause in women who have not yet gone through natural menopause.

In some cases, an ovarian cyst may raise concerns about cancer. Similarly, growths in the adnexa may potentially be cancerous. During laparoscopic surgery, these growths can be biopsied. A biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue, which is sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine if it is cancerous. If a growth is small enough, the entire growth may be removed. However, if it is larger or has invaded deeper tissues, only a portion may be taken for analysis. Additionally, fluid from a cyst can be collected and analyzed to check for the presence of cancer cells.

Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?

This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.

What does the estimated price include?

Estimated prices include facility fees (charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital) and professional fees (charges that cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians).

How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?

To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.

I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?

You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state's Medicaid program directly for more information.
