Consequences of Changing Current Standards: Endocrine Status After Routine Fallopian Tube Removal

NCT02669498 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 128

Summary

Two recently published articles need to be cited to explain the rationale for our study since both studies conclude with contrary findings: The first one is "The post-reproductive Fallopian tube: better removed?" and the other is termed "Factors associated with age of onset and type of menopause in a cohort of UK women".

In essence, while Dietl et al suggest to remove the Fallopian tube routinely in every hysterectomy and every sterilization procedure after 35 yrs of age, Pokoradi et al showed that pelvic surgical procedures and even simple tubal sterilization are associated with an earlier menopause. Hence, this is an important issue as early menopause leads to adverse health status.
