What Is TAH-BSO?

Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo-Oopherectomy.

This is the removal of the uterus including the cervix as well as the tubes and ovaries
using an incision in the abdomen.

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus .

Hysterectomy may be total, as removing the body and cervix of the uterus or partial, also
called supra-cervical..

Salpingo refers specifically to the fallopian tubes which connect the ovaries to the uterus.

Oophorectomy is the surgical removal of an ovary or ovaries.

Indications OF TAH-BSO

• Hysterectomy is often performed on cancer paitients or to relieve severe pelvic

pain from things like, endometriosis or adenomyosis..
• Hysterectomy is also used as a last resort for postpartum obstetrical haemorrhage
or uterine fibroids that cause heavy or unusual bleeding and discomfort in some
women.
• Transsexuals undergoing sex reassignment surgery as part of a female-to-male
(FTM) transition commonly have hysterectomies and oophorectomies to remove
the primary sources of female hormone production.

Risks & Side Effects OF TAH-BSO

• Hysterectomy has been found to be associated with increased bladder function

problems, such as incontinence
• When the ovaries are also removed, estrogen levels will fall.
• This removes the protective effects of estrogen on the cardiovascular and skeletal
system.
• A menopausal woman has a three times greater risk of developing cardiovascular
disease such as atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease or of having a heart
attack when compared to premenopausal women
• Studies have also found that the risk of developing osteoperosis may increase.
