A partial salpingectomy paper should not be considered in a meta-analysis for salpingectomy

I read with great interest the systematic review and meta-analysis by Mills et  al1 on salpingectomy vs tubal ligation for sterilization. The authors refer to Committee Opinion number 774, in which salpingectomy is described as removal of the tube completely from its fimbriated end up to the uterotubal junction.2 However, the authors include in the studies (Table) a study by Rodriguez et al3 that compares partial salpingectomy with bilateral tubal ligation. They also present data on the risk of postoperative pregnancy (Figure 9), and they do not specify in the text that this refers to partial salpingectomy.
