This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a procedure called opportunistic salpingectomy—removing the fallopian tubes during surgery you're already scheduled to have—can help prevent ovarian cancer in women at average risk. Researchers want to learn how many women are interested in this option after learning about it, and whether it's practical to offer during routine abdominal surgeries.
Recent research suggests that many ovarian cancers start in the fallopian tubes rather than the ovary itself. For women who don't plan to have children in the future, removing these tubes during surgery they're already undergoing could be a simple way to lower cancer risk without requiring a separate operation.

You will watch an educational video about the procedure and complete questionnaires before and after watching it during a clinic visit. If you decide to participate in the surgical phase, your fallopian tubes would be removed during your already-planned abdominal surgery, adding about 30-40 minutes to the procedure. The study team will assess whether this is safely feasible for your specific surgery before proceeding.
