Safety of Opportunistic Salpingectomy During Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Safety of Opportunistic Salpingectomy During Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The knowledge, coupled with epidemiological studies demonstrating lower ovarian cancer rates in women with a history of tubal sterilization has led to recommendations for opportunistic salpingectomy at the time of benign gynecological surgery. However, this recommendation was not explored in the setting of non-gynecological surgeries, of most if the surgery performed not in pelvis. This study aims to evaluate the safety of performing opportunistic salpingectomy at the time of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in women aged 45 years or older. Of note, the only available prospective study from Austria evaluated feasibility of combined operation. By assessing complication rates and other perioperative outcomes, the study seeks to determine if this combined approach is a safe for opportunistic ovarian cancer prevention. Ultimately, this research may inform surgical practice and potentially reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer in this population.
