Salpingectomy as a method of sterilization during caesarean section

This article presents a review of scientific research by Russian and international authors examining the tactics of choosing a sterilization method during caesarean section, the characteristics of the postoperative period, as well as possible complications from both a surgical perspective and the long-term consequences of the sterilization technique. The objective of this study was to substantiate the absence of a negative impact of salpingectomy during cesarean section as a method of surgical sterilization and the reduction in the risk of ovarian cancer after salpingectomy. The question of the surgical method of sterilization during cesarean section remains open. Some authors advocate suturing/ligation/electrocoagulation of the fallopian tubes, while others present compelling arguments in favor of salpingectomy. A detailed analysis of Russian and primarily international studies on surgical sterilization, primarily during cesarean section, was conducted, as well as statistical data on the occurrence and prevalence of ovarian malignancies. The following databases were used in this article: PubMed, eLibrary, and Medline.
