Key Points Question Is opportunistic salpingectomy associated with fewer than expected ovarian cancers? Findings This population-based cohort study included 25 889 individuals who underwent opportunistic salpingectomy and 32 080 individuals who underwent hysterectomy alone or tubal ligation. There were no serous ovarian cancers among individuals in the opportunistic salpingectomy group, which was significantly lower than the age-adjusted expected rate of 5.27 serous cancers. Meaning The opportunistic salpingectomy group had significantly fewer serous ovarian cancers than expected, suggesting that opportunistic salpingectomy is associated with reduced ovarian cancer risk.
