Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To measure the difference in ovarian steroidogenesis in terms of FSH, between patients who have an opportunistic salpingectomy versus those who do not, at six months to one year post-operatively.Timepoint: Six months to one year postoperatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Difference in FSH based on method of salpingectomy (cold knife vs cautery)Timepoint: Six months to one year postoperatively;Duration of entire surgery and salpingectomy timeTimepoint: At completion of surgery;Failure of intended surgery due to salpingectomy -Conversion from laparoscopy or vaginal hysterectomy to laparotomyTimepoint: At completion of surgery;Intra-operative blood loss - total and due to salpingectomyTimepoint: At completion of surgery;Intraoperative complication due to salpingectomy -Major vessel, urinary tract, bowel or other severe injury during surgeryTimepoint: At completion of surgery
