NCT03045965

Brief Summary

HOPPSA is a register based randomized controlled trial (R-RCT), with the objective to examine if opportunistic salpingectomy compared with no salpingectomy, at the time of hysterectomy for a benign reason

  • has no increased risk of complications
  • has no negative side effects on ovarian function and subsequent cardiovascular disease or incidence of fractures
  • implies reduced risk of subsequent ovarian cancer Randomization and follow-up will be conducted within national registers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Surgical complication - short term primary outcome

    Dichotomous outcome, retrieved from any of two sources in the GynOp register: specified question on complications and the Clavien-Dindo classification

    Eight weeks post-operative

  • Change in menopausal symptom score - intermediate term primary outcome

    Measured from baseline to one year follow-up, assessed with Menopause Rating Scale (MRS)

    One year after surgery

  • Epithelial ovarian cancer - long term primary outcome

    The outcome is dichotomous, the diagnosis is classified according to ICD10. Each case with a positive outcome is further described with histopathological types and grade, as well as clinical stage according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Assessed through national registers stage according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Assessed through national registers

    10-30 years after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Operative time

    At day of surgery

  • Length of hospital stay

    Assessment will be done at discharge from hospital after surgery, including a period up to 8 weeks. a

  • Perioperative blood loss

    At day of surgery

  • Conversion to other surgical route

    At day of surgery

  • Failure rate of salpingectomy at planned vaginal hysterectomy

    At day of surgery

  • +6 more secondary outcomes
