Surgical check: are doctors fully removing fallopian tubes to prevent ovarian cancer?
NCT ID NCT05646680
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at how often fallopian tubes are completely removed when women have surgery to remove an ovary and tube (adnexectomy). The goal was to improve the surgical technique to lower the risk of ovarian cancer. 115 women participated, and researchers checked for leftover tube tissue to see if the removal was incomplete.
