The cost-effectiveness of opportunistic salpingectomy versus standard tubal ligation at the time of cesarean delivery for ovarian cancer risk reduction
Opportunistic salpingectomy is a cost-effective strategy recommended for ovarian cancer risk reduction at the time of gynecologic surgery in women who have completed childbearing.
We aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of opportunistic salpingectomy compared to standard tubal ligation (TL) during cesarean delivery.
In 10,000 women desiring sterilization with cesarean, opportunistic salpingectomy would result in 17 fewer ovarian cancer diagnoses, 13 fewer ovarian cancer deaths, and 25 fewer unintended pregnancies compared to TL.
In women undergoing cesarean with sterilization, opportunistic salpingectomy is likely cost-effective and may be cost saving in comparison to TL for ovarian cancer risk reduction.
