Figure 1 Standard salpingectomy. The tubes are removed by coagulation and resection of the tissue beginning from the very distal fimbrial end and proceeding toward the uterine cornu. The resection is performed at the level of the posterior tubal margin, carefully sparing the mesosalpinx.

Figure 2 Wide salpingectomy. The tubes are removed by coagulation and resection of the tissue starting from the distal fimbrial end. Resection is then performed at the uterine cornu and proceeds at the level of the ovarian margin and the uterus–ovarian ligament, including the entire mesosalpinx into the tubes, toward the fimbria.
