Abstract

Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOA) is a malignancy with poor prognosis. Some findings indicate that the fallopian tubes may play a central role in its pathogenesis. Therefore, it has been suggested that bilateral prophylactic salpingectomy at the time of hysterectomy for benign condition would reduce the risk of developing EOA. Nowadays, more and more surgeons use robotic assistance to perform laparoscopic hysterectomy. The number and size of trocars may influence postoperative pain. We present in a video a standardized Robotically Assisted Laparoscopic Salpingectomy (RALS) using only two instruments and trocars.
