Some transgender men and transmasculine people undergo a bilateral salpingectomy (removal of fallopian tubes) as part of a gender transition. This type of bottom surgery is often done at the same time as a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and a oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). Removing fallopian tubes and ovaries at the same time is also called a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
According to UCLA Health’s Gynecological Care experts:
A patient who does not desire removal of the uterus may have a laparoscopic removal of the tubes and ovaries alone. Laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy alone typically takes one hour, and patients can expect to go home within a couple of hours after surgery.

Important: These genital surgeries will change your body so you can’t ever make children. Those who wish to have this done must review their reproductive options before having surgery.
