The potential for opportunistic salpingectomy to reduce ovarian cancer in women undergoing non-gynecologic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We sought to estimate the impact, acceptance, and additional cost of opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS) or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) during certain non-gynecologic procedures on the incidence of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).STUDY DESIGN: US population and institutional data were reviewed for three common laparoscopic non-gynecologic surgeries: Cholecystectomy (CCY), Ventral Hernia Repair (VHR), and Bariatric Surgical Procedures (BSP). Additionally, institutional review was performed on all patients, aged 35-75, undergoing these procedures from July 2016 to June 2019 to determine candidacy for OBS or BSO. Patients with history of hysterectomy or tubal sterilization were excluded. Baseline population risk (1.4%) and estimated risk reduction
