About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Presence of Residual Tubal Tissue on the Ovarian Surface Following Laparoscopic and Laparotomic Salpingectomy; Do They Really Exist?

Patients who undergo salpingo-oophorectomy +/- hysterectomy (laparoscopic or laparotomy) for benign indications, early cervical cancer or low-risk endometrial cancer will be included. Patients with other pelvic malignancies, previous bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral oophorectomy and excessive adhesions will be excluded. Laparoscopy and laparotomy groups will be compared in terms of fibril tissue remnants on the ovarian surface.

Read the detailed description

Histopathologic data have revealed that up to 70% of ovarian cancers may actually arise from the fallopian tube. Thus, opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy is now promoted for women at the time of hysterectomy for a benign disease. In turn, the potential surgical risks and ovarian cancer prevention of this emerging practice have generated multiple studies, some of which reported microscopic fimbriae were left behind adherent to the ovary. Although it is thought that there is no direct connection between the ovary and its adjacent fallopian tube, the investigators often find remnants of the fimbria adherent to the ovary at the time of surgery. If this tubo-ovarian interface is not separate, then practices such as salpingectomy and radical fimbriectomy may be incomplete, and the effectiveness of this technique as a prophylactic strategy may need reconsideration. In this study, the investigators aim to assess the presence of residual fimbrial/tubal tissue on ovarian surfaces following salpingectomy and to discuss the efficacy of this procedure on the reduction of epithelial ovarian cancer. Patients who undergo salpingo-oophorectomy +/- hysterectomy (laparoscopic or laparotomy) for benign indications, early cervical cancer or low-risk endometrial cancer will be included. Patients with other pelvic malignancies, previous bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral oophorectomy and excessive adhesions will be excluded. Salpingectomy with or without hysterectomy, as indicated, will be performed initially. This will be followed by bilateral oophorectomy as a second step within the same procedure. The ovaries and tubes removed will be sent in separately labelled containers: right tube, left tube, right ovary and left ovary. Histological assessment will be performed by gynecological pathologists. The fallopian tubes will be sectioned serially and ovaries will also be serially sectioned and examined for presence of any remnant tubal tissue.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Salpingectomy, run by Istanbul Medeniyet University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ozkan OZDAMAR, M.D. (+905324766744, ozkan_ozdamar@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of tubal tissue remnants on the ovarian surface (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2018.
