## Resource

Words matter, and equally as important, our actions matter. Sometimes the words opportunistic salpingectomy (OPS or OS) are used interchangeably with risk-reducing salpingectomy (RRS). However, these are two completely different items. In fact, there are 4 very important differences between the two. In the April 2026 AJOG, there's a new Clinical Opinion on this very topic. Listen in for details. 1. Kindelberger DW, Lee Y, Miron A, Hirsch MS, Feltmate C, Medeiros F, Callahan MJ, Garner EO, Gordon RW, Birch C, Berkowitz RS, Muto MG, Crum CP.
