Abstract
Increasing evidence and acceptance of the role of the tube in the etiopathogenesis of ovarian cancer has led to opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS) being considered as an ovarian cancer prevention strategy for premenopausal women (who have completed childbearing) undergoing tubal sterilisation/benign gynaecological surgery. Some clinicians or jurisdictions (e.g. British Columbia) have incorporated this into routine practice. Recent guidelines from the American College of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and the Society of Gynaecological Oncology recommend that OBS be considered for ovarian cancer prevention, but also highlight the need/importance for further trials to confirm the validity and benefit of this approach.
