摘要

Abstract

A paradigm shift of the origin of ovarian cancer to fallopian tube has brought more focus on bilateral salpingectomy as a preventive method for ovarian cancer. Bilateral salpingectomy has shown a dramatic reduction in the risk of ovarian cancer. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy has been a long-used practice to prevent ovarian cancer

but it brings surgical menopause and an increased mortality rate to women undergoing such a surgery at the age of <47.5. With the prophylactic bilateral salpingectomy

however

the ovarian function remains unaltered. Recent studies have shown that prophylactic salpingectomy was helpful not only in preventing high-grade serous type ovarian cancer

but also in decreasing adnexal pathologies. With the publication of committee opinion

more practitioners have accepted this proposal

but some are more concerned about its disadvantages. This review illustrates the latest updates on salpingectomy as a preventive method for ovarian cancer

including its advantages and disadvantages

clinicians’ opinions

public opinions

so as to find out Obstetricians’ and Gynecologists’ practice pattern related to opportunistic salpingectomy worldwide.
