Uncontrolled bleeding Salpingo-oophorectomy i.e. removal of tubes along with the ovaries is not recommended in young patients "Presently salpingo-oophorectomy is never recommended unless the ovary itself is grossly diseased or damaged". "The ipsilateral ovary and its vascular supply is preserved. Oophorectomy is done only if the ovary is damaged beyond salvage or is pathological".
