<P> The removal of an ovary together with the Fallopian tube is called salpingo - oophorectomy or unilateral salpingo - oophorectomy ( USO ) . When both ovaries and both Fallopian tubes are removed , the term bilateral salpingo - oophorectomy ( BSO ) is used . Oophorectomy and salpingo - oophorectomy are not common forms of birth control in humans ; more usual is tubal ligation , in which the Fallopian tubes are blocked but the ovaries remain intact . In many cases , surgical removal of the ovaries is performed concurrently with a hysterectomy . The formal medical name for removal of a woman 's entire reproductive system ( ovaries , Fallopian tubes , uterus ) is `` total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo - oophorectomy '' ( TAH - BSO ) ; the more casual term for such a surgery is `` ovariohysterectomy '' . `` Hysterectomy '' is removal of the uterus ( from the Greek ὑστέρα hystera `` womb '' and εκτομία ektomia `` a cutting out of '' ) without removal of the ovaries or Fallopian tubes . </P>
