STOPOVCA 2.0 is a prospective feasibility study in which women undergoing a surgical or urological abdominal procedure can choose whether they want to have their fallopian tubes removed during that operation. The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of implementing opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) in three hospitals: two large non-academic teaching hospitals and one smaller non-academic hospital.

Implementation will be evaluated through medical record review, examining:

• How many patients were eligible for OS

• How many were offered OS

• How many actually underwent OS

Additionally, the study will monitor:

• The number of complications

• Additional operative time

• Length of hospital stay

The experiences of surgeons, urologists, and patients with the implementation of OS and the related strategies will be evaluated in focus groups.
