Abstract
With this operation, it is mainly in view of the removal of the diseased Fallopian tube; the ovary is removed in this case only in those cases, when it is also sick or when it is impossible to separate it from the pipe due to adhesions. This operation differs from a simple ovaryotomy, that with it they always find very abundant adhesions, of varying density and sometimes enormous bleeding when they are separated; fresh adhesions are easily separated, give great bleeding, which by itself soon stops due to vascular collapse; old adhesions are sometimes separated only with tremendous labor, give a slight bleeding, but which does not stop on its own, since the vessels in the thick cicatricial cords do not collapse, and therefore the author combines in the most careful way to chop and bandage them.
