Cost Effectiveness of Salpingectomy Compared With Vasectomy for Permanent Contraception
Salpingectomy is not cost effective compared with vasectomy at a WTP threshold of $100,000, despite lower unintended pregnancy rates and societal ovarian cancer burden. Shared decision making, including a discussion of the long-term health benefits of salpingectomy, is important for couples deciding on permanent contraception procedures.
