Salpingectomy was performed by Lawson Tait in 1883 in women with a bleeding ectopic pregnancy; it is now established as a routine and lifesaving procedure [clarification needed]. Other indications for a salpingectomy include infected tubes (as in a hydrosalpinx) or as part of the surgical procedure for tubal cancer. [citation needed]
Most protective effect was seen in women who had a bilateral salpingectomy. High-Grade Serous Carcinoma (HGSC) is usually driven by BRCA gene mutations – it was hypothesised that a decrease risk of ovarian cancer observed among women with salpingectomy reflects the effect of the removed tubal epithelium (fallopian tube). [citation needed]
An ovarian cancer research group is urging women, regardless of risk, to consider removing their fallopian tubes if they are done having children and undergoing other gynecological surgeries.
The surgical removal of a fallopian tube is called a salpingectomy. To remove both tubes is a bilateral salpingectomy. An operation that combines the removal of a fallopian tube with the removal of at least one ovary is a salpingo-oophorectomy. An operation to remove a fallopian tube obstruction is called a tuboplasty.

Prophylactic salpingectomy is the surgical removal of the Fallopian tube which when done as a preventive measure, may be done to prevent pregnancies as a form of contraception, or as a method to prevent cancer. Women who underwent prophylactic salpingectomy have shown to have a lower incidence of ovarian cancer compared to women who have not ...
This is who is affected by abortion legislation.
In RRSO specimens from healthy women at increased risk for HGSC, the protocol is used to confirm or exclude the presence of an early HGSC (STIC). If a malignancy is discovered there is a significant risk of a later recurrence, computed at 10% and 27% at 5 and 10 years. In contrast, if no abnormality is found the risk is less than 1%. [19]
