Hysterectomy is often combined with salpingo-oophorectomy. When both are removed at the same time, the eggs discharged from the ovaries fall into the abdominal cavity and gradually disappear on their own.
The uterus and fallopian tubes are important female reproductive organs. The uterus is connected to the fallopian tubes, and the umbilical end of the fallopian tubes is connected to the ovaries.
Under normal physiological conditions, after ovulation, the ovary picks up the egg from the umbrella of the fallopian tube, and the egg travels to the potbelly of the fallopian tube to wait for sperm to be fertilized. If unfertilized, the egg dissipates in the fallopian tube; if fertilized, the fertilized egg travels to the uterine cavity to settle and then further develop into an embryo.
Hysterectomy is often combined with tubectomy. If both the uterus and the fallopian tubes are removed at the same time, then every time an egg is ovulated, it will “break” through the surface of the ovary and then fall into the abdominal cavity and gradually die out on its own.
