Tests whether removing fallopian tubes affects menopause timing
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether an “opportunistic salpingectomy” (removing fallopian tubes) during sterilization changes when menopause happens. It compares people who have this procedure to those who get different sterilization (tubal ligation) or none.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether removing the fallopian tubes during a hysterectomy affects menopause. It aims to help understand the benefits and risks of this preventive surgery.
This study tests whether removing your fallopian tubes (the tubes that carry eggs) during planned gallbladder surgery can help prevent ovarian cancer. Research suggests that ovarian cancer may start in the fallopian tubes, so removing them during surgery you're already having might reduce your cancer risk.
This study looks at the safety of removing your fallopian tubes first (RRS) and delaying ovary removal (oophorectomy) to lower cancer risk. It focuses on women who carry certain inherited gene changes, and may help avoid earlier menopause for some people.
This study looks at removing fallopian tubes during other planned surgeries to help prevent ovarian cancer. You may be able to join if you are at least 45 years old, are female or assigned female at birth, and are having non-gynecologic surgery (like gallbladder or hernia repair).
This trial tests if removing the fallopian tubes (fimbriectomy) can lower the risk of ovarian or pelvic cancer in women with certain gene mutations. The goal is to find a less invasive prevention option.
This study looks at whether removing the fallopian tubes first, and the ovaries later, is safe for women with certain inherited gene mutations that raise ovarian cancer risk. It may help you understand a prevention approach when you’re considered high risk and have finished having children.
