The Impact of Salpingectomy on Anti-Mullerian Hormone Levels and Ovarian Response of In Vitro Fertilization Patients.
Israel Medical Association Journal : IMAJ 2018 August
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic salpingectomy is strongly related to successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments.
OBJECTIVES: To compare the ovarian reserve, including anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, in patients who underwent salpingectomy before IVF to IVF patients who had not been salpingectomized.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, medical records of women who were treated by the IVF unit at our institute were reviewed. We retrieved demographic data, surgical details, and data regarding the ovarian reserve. Details of 35 patients who were treated by IVF after salpingectomy were compared to 70 IVF patients with no history of salpingectomy treatment. Nine women underwent IVF treatment before and after having salpingectomy, and their details were included in both groups.
RESULTS: The levels of AMH, follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol, and progesterone were not significantly different in the groups. The antral follicular count (AFC), number of oocytes retrieved, amount of gonadotropin administered for ovarian stimulation, and number of embryos transferred (ET) were also not significantly different.
CONCLUSIONS: Salpingectomy does not seem to affect ovarian reserve in IVF patients.
