Might prophylactic salpingectomy be possible during bariatric surgery? (“Can we see the tubes?”)

Introduction Prophylactic salpingectomy (PS) for the prevention of ovarian cancer is recommended, established and effective at gynecologic surgery [1] [2] [3] [4]. Non-gynecologic laparoscopic procedures might afford further opportunities for PS [5]. We evaluated whether the tubes could be visualized during bariatric surgery.
