Fallopian tube removal: which tool spares ovaries best?
NCT ID NCT02284711
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 96 women having their fallopian tubes removed during a hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons. Researchers measured how the surgery affected ovarian reserve (egg supply) using a blood test and ultrasound. They also compared two different surgical tools—one using electric energy and one using ultrasound—to see if one was gentler on the ovaries. The goal was to gather knowledge to guide safer surgical choices.
