The Board has determined that the Veteran's service-connected segmented salpingectomy due to ectopic pregnancy, right side, does not warrant a compensable evaluation as there is no evidence of complete removal of both ovaries.
The deciding factor: The objective medical findings do not indicate complete removal of both ovaries, nor are any left ovary removals related to the right-sided segmented salpingectomy.
