You are scheduled to undergo abdominal surgery. This surgery will be performed by a surgeon or urologist. You have a choice during this procedure: would you like to have your Fallopian tubes removed or not? If you decide to have your Fallopian tubes removed, this means that you can no longer become pregnant after this procedure. The risk of ovarian cancer decreases if you have your Fallopian tubes removed.
In this decision aid, you will receive an explanation about:
- the removal of the Fallopian tubes.
- why you are being given this choice.
The removal of the Fallopian tubes is an additional procedure to the surgery that you have already been scheduled for. Please contact your healthcare provider about any questions or information about your surgery.
