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. The removal, salpingectomy, is a safe procedure that can help protect against future ovarian cancer, according to a new study.
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. 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 inAlmost a thousand women who were due to be sterilized via laparoscopy took part in the study and were randomly assigned to receive either standard sterilization in which the Fallopian tubesare cut or extended surgery with salpingectomy .
The time taken for the procedure differed somewhat. The average time was 45 minutes when the Fallopian tubes were removed, compared to 29 minutes when they were cut.The study was carried out by researchers at the University of Gothenburg and Umeå University, in cooperation with the Swedish National Quality Register of Gynecological Surgery . The study thereby has a broad base with participants from the majority of Sweden's operating gynecological clinics.
The researchers are also studying hormonal effects in women whose Fallopian tubeshave been removed during sterilization, including whether menopause occurs earlier with a risk of undesired health effects. This aspect of their research requires a longer follow-up period, and the first results are expected within a few years.Chicago
