Hanley GE, et al. - Researchers investigated if women undergoing opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) are at increased risk of minor complications following surgery. All women in British Columbia (BC) who underwent OS between 2008 and 2014 were identified and all physician visits in the two weeks post discharge from the hospital were examined. They performed comparison of women undergoing OS at hysterectomy with women undergoing hysterectomy alone and women undergoing OS for sterilization with women undergoing tubal ligation. In terms of minor complications, women undergoing OS and women undergoing hysterectomy alone or tubal ligation did not differ, except for a slightly increased likelihood of filling a prescription analgesic medication in the immediate two weeks post discharge.
