Summary

Despite aggressive treatment, ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need for primary prevention. Recently, the Fallopian tube has been indicated as organ of origin of most epithelial ovarian cancers. Therefore, an additional (opportunistic) salpingectomy during intraabdominal procedures will lower the burden on epithelial ovarian cancer. The pros and cons of an opportunistic salpingectomy should routinely be discussed also with trans male persons having left the Fallopian tubes in situ and undergoing abdominal surgery for any reason.
