Brief summary

In this prospective study, patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy with salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy were included. The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of prophylactic salpingectomy during vaginal hysterectomy for benign pathology and the prevalence of occult tubal lesions. The hypothesis is that prophylactic salpingectomy during vaginal hysterectomy for benign pathology present a low failure rate and it makes it possible to avoid the appearance of a certain number of ovarian cancers. The prevalence of bilateral salpingectomy with or without ovariectomy and the prevalence of histopathological and immunohistochemical (p53 expression) abnormalities were evaluated.
