Completeness of salpingectomy intended for ovarian cancer risk reduction.

This study found that over 94% of salpingectomies resulted in complete removal of salpingeal tissue. Of the ovaries with residual salpingeal tissue, there wasn't a difference among surgeon level and surgery type, but the study was not powered to detect this. This study supports the continued clinical practice of prophylactic salpingectomy for ovarian cancer risk reduction. PMID: 31522838 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
