Menopause Jan 15, 2021
Wong J, Murji A, Sunderji Z, et al. - In this study, predictors of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at hysterectomy were investigated along with determination of the rate of unnecessary bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Performing retrospective review of hysterectomies at six Ontario, Canada hospitals, they identified that concurrent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed in 749/2,656 (28%) cases with 509/749 (68%) indicated based on preoperative diagnosis. Preoperative indications were more frequently lacking in concurrent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy performed by generalists and at community hospitals. Potential possibility of ovarian preservation was noted for 8%.
