Salpingectomy prevents ovarian cancer. In other words, if you have ovaries, when you’re done having babies, you should be offered and accept salpingectomy to protect your future health and ensure you’re there to parent your children. Because ovarian is sneaky. And deadly.

My favorite from last year is "Salpingectomy." One of a couple pieces I made about women's reproductive rights, following when my wife had the lifesaving procedure. I spent some time learning and reflecting. Making this was part of how I processed what happened.

My surgery went really well - total hysterectomy w/ bilateral salpingectomy. Ovaries still in tact. All done robotically/laparoscopically.
Feeling tired & sore but honestly, mostly happy & relieved. I’ll update more as recovery progresses.

We now know: most ovarian cancers start in the fallopian tubes.
🆕‼️ ACOG recommends considering fallopian tube removal (“salpingectomy”) during *any* abdominal surgery in ppl who don’t want future pregnancy
Hopefully, this prevents ovarian cancers and saves lives
