Bilateral Tubo-Ovarian Abscess

How long is a typical recovery for this type of removal?  Also my doctor says that both fallopian tubes maybe destoyed and have to be removed.

Well, good luck and let us know.. There are a lot of ladies here with loads of experience with laparoscopic procedures,  laparotomies, etc.

Try not to worry,

If you are having a laparoscopic procedure, the recovery time is only a few weeks. There will be 3 small incisions at the belly button, the "bikini Line" and one in between. There may be a little discomfort for the first day or so and there will be bruising..Your Dx. is a little different than mine, but the end result is the same.. My stitches were removed in 1 week, and I went to the grocery store the same week.. They do ask that you not drive or lift anything heavy for the first two weeks.. But, other than that, the recovery time is really not bad..

Hope they can save the tubes..

Good luck
