Year	Associations or Experts	Recommendation
2011	Canadian gynecological group19	Consider surgical removal of fallopian tubes at the time of hysterectomy, even when ovaries were conserved Replace tubal ligation with excision bilateral salpingectomy for the purpose of permanent contraception Refer all patients with HGSC for hereditary cancer counseling and genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations
2011	Royal Australian and new Zealand college of obstetricians and gynecologists18	Doctors should discuss the risks and benefits of bilateral salpingectomy with patients undergoing by hysterectomy for benign disease
2013	Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO)21,22	For women at average risk of ovarian cancer, risk-reducing salpingectomy should also be discussed and considered with patients at the time of abdominal or pelvic surgery, hysterectomy or in lieu of tubal ligation

2014	Royal college of Obstetricians and Gynecologist25	Women who are not at high risk for BRCA mutation and have completed their families should be carefully considered for prophylactic removal of the fallopian tubes with conservation of ovaries at the time of gynecological or other intraepritoneal surgery
2015	American college of obstetricians and gynecologists (ACOG)20	Women at population-level risk of ovarian cancer who are undergoing ovary-sparing hysterectomy for benign indications should be offered bilateral salpingectomy to reduce their risk of ovarian cancer
2015	Commission Ovary of the AGO24	During preoperative counseling prior to hysterectomy, all patients should be informed about the potential beneficial impact of opportunistic salpingectomy and the associated risks
2016	American cancer of association23	Opportunistic salpingectomy to patients as an opportunistic procedure during benign hysterectomies and as an alternative to bilateral tubal ligation for sterilization procedures
