Actually, no. The nice thing about a salpingectomy—Dr. McAlpine can definitely speak to this, as well, as they did large educational programs on it—is it's actually a fairly easy thing to add to a surgery that's being done anywhere near the pelvis. That's why they're branching out in their colorectal and general surgery teams, because if you're there to take out an appendix, it's a pretty easy thing to also pop out a couple of Fallopian tubes while you're down there. Even at the time of doing a vaginal hysterectomy, it's fairly easy to move the Fallopian tubes into the vagina to be able remove them safely and allow the ovaries to stay behind.
