Popis background: The reduction of ovarian cancer (OC) risk in women with a history of tubal ligation (TL) has been reported repeatedly, mostly on small populations. We have aimed to provide a critical overview of the studies available to date and to conduct a meta-analysis. results: Meta-analysis of 13 strictly selected studies showed a reduced risk of epithelial OC by 34%. The protective effect of TL was confirmed even in a subgroup of women 10–14 years after the procedure. The risk reduction was confirmed for the endometrioid (RR = 0.40) and serous (RR = 0.73) cancers but not for mucinous. conclusions: The review of relevant articles, as well as the meta-analysis of selected studies, yields consistent data on a significant reduction of OC risk in women who had undergone TL. The results of this meta-analysis should provide an impulse for further research on the etiology of ovarian epithelial cancers, focusing particularly on the importance of retrograde transport of endometrial cells.
