Women whose Fallopian tubes are removed during sterilization via laparoscopy have only marginally more surgical complications than those whose tubes are simply cut, a study shows.
University of GothenburgAug 11 2024 The removal, salpingectomy, is a safe procedure that can help protect against future ovarian cancer .
Until now, however, it has not been known whether the procedure entails more surgical complications, which may lead to many women opting out. The current study, published in The Lancet Regional Health – Europe, looked specifically at surgical complications. Among those participants whose Fallopian tubes were removed, 8.1% experienced a complication within eight weeks of the procedure, compared to 6.2% of those participants whose tubes were cut. In this context, this is classified as an accepted difference without clinical significance.
