Salpingectomy ovarian cancer

PURPOSE: Despite the growing understanding of the carcinogenesis of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) of the ovary and peritoneum and its precursor lesion serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), evidence-based proven recommendations on the clinical management of patients with STIC are lacking so far. METHODS: A questionnaire containing 21 questions was developed to explore the clinical experience with patients with the diagnosis of STICs and the diagnostic, surgical and histopathological approaches in Germany...

While surgical outcomes of prophylactic salpingectomy as an ovarian cancer risk reducing measure at the time of hysterectomy for benign indications has already been studied, data has traditionally been extrapolated to surgery for prolapse repair. A retrospective chart review was performed from medical records of patients who had undergone a sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse. Variables collected included operation duration, length of hospital stay, readmission within 31 days, estimated blood loss (EBL), number and size of incisions, as well as narcotic use during hospitalization...

INTRODUCTION: Opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) refers to additional removal of the fallopian tubes during abdominal surgery performed for another medical indication, as prevention for ovarian cancer. As OS has been inconsistently implemented, its clinical practice varies worldwide. To reduce this variation, insight is required into current clinical practice and its determinants. Therefore, the study aim was to determine the implementation of counseling and performance of OS between 2015 and 2018, and its patient, surgical, physician, and hospital characteristics...

Recent findings suggest that high-grade serous ovarian cancer can originate in the fallopian tube. Not only has that made the identification of precursor lesions pivotal in early detection and prevention of these cancers, prophylactic salpingectomy alongside hysterectomy for benign indications has been increasingly proposed as well. The present prospective single-center study included 273 women who underwent opportunistic salpingectomy alongside laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. Uterine and tubal histopathological results as well as intra- and postoperative complications were evaluated...

Policymakers require robust cost-effectiveness evidence of risk-reducing-surgery (RRS) for decision making on resource allocation for breast cancer (BC)/ovarian cancer (OC)/endometrial cancer (EC) prevention. We aimed to summarise published data on the cost-effectiveness of risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM)/risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO)/risk-reducing early salpingectomy and delayed oophorectomy (RRESDO) for BC/OC prevention in intermediate/high-risk populations; hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) in Lynch syndrome women; and opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS) for OC prevention in baseline-risk populations...

BACKGROUND: Vaginal carcinoma is a gynecological malignancy with low incidence, and there are few relevant and specific guidelines for vaginal cancer in our country and abroad. Here, we report the case who was diagnosed with advanced, primary vaginal squamous cell carcinoma and underwent integrated treatment successfully. CASE INTRODUCTION: A 64-year-old Chinese woman underwent subtotal hysterectomy for uterine fibroids in 1998 and laparoscopic extensive residual cervical resection, bilateral ovarian salpingectomy, and pelvic lymph node dissection for residual cervical adenocarcinoma (stage IB1) in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University in 2018...

OBJECTIVES: While bilateral tubal ligation has historically been performed for sterilization at cesarean delivery, recent data supports the use and safety of opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy ( during cesarean delivery (CD) to decrease lifetime ovarian cancer risk. Prior studies have described racial disparities in sterilization rates, but there is a paucity of data regarding racial disparities in type of sterilization procedure. Our objective was to determine differences in sterilization procedure type performed at CD by race (Black vs...

In early-stage cervical cancer, ovarian metastasis is relatively rare, and ovarian transposition is often performed during surgery. Although rare, the diagnosis and surgical approach for recurrence at transposed ovaries are challenging. This study focused on the diagnosis and surgical management of transposed ovarian recurrence in cervical cancer patients. A 45-year-old premenopausal woman underwent radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and pelvic lymphadenectomy following postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage IB1 cervical cancer...

Opportunistic salpingectomies (OSs) are concurrently performed with hysterectomies to prevent epithelial ovarian cancer. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between OS and early menopause in females who have undergone hysterectomies. This was a retrospective cohort study involving 79 females who had undergone a hysterectomy, with or without an OS, between January 2007 and December 2015. Their ages at surgery, at menopause, and the lengths of time from surgery to menopause were compared. An OS had been performed in 54 and not performed in 25 of the enrolled patients, comprising the OS and non-OS groups...

OBJECTIVE: Germline mutations in the BRCA gene account for most hereditary ovarian and breast cancer. Management of healthy carriers aims to prevent and allow early detection of breast and ovarian cancer. This study compares six different hereditary ovarian cancer management guidelines, highlighting areas of controversy between different societies. We aim to compare international and national guidelines regarding BRCA carriers' management. STUDY DESIGN: A comparative study...

OBJECTIVE: Serous ovarian cancer is the most common subtype of epithelial ovarian carcinoma-the most prevalent type of ovarian cancer. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is thought to arise from the distal fallopian tube, with a precursor lesion known as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC). STICs are found in the final pathology of a salpingectomy specimen in 10%-20% of women with a BRCA gene mutation and 1%-7% of women without a mutation. However, there is currently no official guideline and a paucity of data on the management of STICs...

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) is an attractive method for primary prevention of ovarian cancer. Although OS has not been associated with a higher complication rate, it may be associated with earlier onset of menopause. OBJECTIVE: To provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of OS on both age at menopause and ovarian reserve. METHODS: A search was conducted in the Cochrane Library, Embase and MEDLINE databases from inception until March 2022...

Isolated metastases from non-gynecological cancers to the fallopian tube are rare. Recent literature suggests that mucosal alterations of the fallopian tube should be considered primary tubal lesions. This has led to a paradigm shift in the classification of ovarian tumors with studies proposing tubal origin for these tumors, and clinicians advocating distal salpingectomy to decrease rates of ovarian cancer. This is based on the theory that sole presence of tubal mucosal disease is evidence of tubal origin...

INTRODUCTION: Sterilization of females is considered one of the most prevalent contraceptive techniques among women in the United States. There are many surgical sterilization procedures including salpingectomy, tubal ligation, and hysteroscopic occlusion of the fallopian tubes. We provide an overview of these methods from the clinical data and latest studies available on this topic. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: In order to review the latest literature on the topic, we searched electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane library for all eligible studies from May 1st 2018 until May 1st 2022 using the following strategy: ("fallopian tube removal" OR Salpingectomy OR "fallopian tube excision" OR "tubal sterilization") AND ("tubal ligation" OR "bipolar coagulation" OR "tubal clip" OR "tubal ring" OR fimbriectomy)...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The last decade has witnessed a radical change in the field of reproductive surgery. The increasing success of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has caused a huge shift in emphasis with many downstream consequences. This review outlines the changes and provides insight into the future of reproductive surgery. RECENT FINDINGS: With compelling evidence that IVF overcomes the detrimental effects of endometriosis on infertility and with two new oral medications available for management of endometriosis, momentum is shifting towards nonsurgical management of endometriosis...

BACKGROUND: Total salpingectomy during benign gynecologic surgery is recommended after completion of childbearing, to reduce the risk for developing ovarian cancer. OBJECTIVE: To assess operating time and complication rates of "traditional" salpingectomy, using the "Knot and Cut" technique, compared with bipolar salpingectomy for sterilization at the time of cesarean section. STUDY DESIGN: this was a randomized controlled trial. Women undergoing planned cesarean delivery who desired sterilization were randomized to traditional salpingectomy or bipolar salpingectomy...

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) is the removal of fallopian tubes during hysterectomy for benign indications or instead of tubal ligation, for the purpose of preventing ovarian cancer. We determined rates of OS at the time of hysterectomy and tubal sterilization and examined how they changed over the study period. METHODS: Using data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information's Discharge Abstract Database and National Ambulatory Care Reporting System for all Canadian provinces and territories (except Quebec) between the fiscal years 2011 and 2016, we conducted a descriptive analysis of all patients aged 15 years or older who underwent hysterectomy or tubal sterilization...

Preservation of ovarian function is important for the physical and psychosexual well-being of young patients with cancer. Patients with pelvic malignancies such as cervical or rectal cancer planned for radiotherapy may benefit from ovarian transposition with the aim of moving the ovaries outside the radiation field.1 Different surgical techniques have been reported previously.2,3 With the present video, we aim to standardize the surgical technique of laparoscopic ovarian transposition in ten steps. We present the case of a 30-year-old nulliparous woman diagnosed with grade 3 squamous cell cervical carcinoma having a largest tumor diameter of 41 mm on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan...

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies and its incidence is rising in the last decades especially in developed countries. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) represents 70% of ovarian cancers. Oral contraceptive use and salpingo-oophorectomy or salpingectomy are well known protective factors against development of ovarian cancer. Identification of specific mutations associated with a high risk of developing ovarian cancer, especially BRCA1/2 mutation and TP53 mutations, has paved the way for implementation of new strategies for early diagnosis and therapy...

OBJECTIVE: Examine the risks of fractures and osteoporosis after risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) among women with BRCA1/2 mutations. METHODS: In this retrospective population-based study in British Columbia, Canada, between 1996 to 2017, we compared risks of osteoporosis and fractures among women with BRCA1/2 mutations who underwent RRBSO before the age of 50 (n=329) with two age-matched groups without known mutations: 1) women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy (BO) (n=3,290); 2) women with intact ovaries who had hysterectomy or salpingectomy (n=3,290)...
