Cadaver Study of the Morphometry of the Ovary in Bangladeshi Women

Abstract

observed by various researchers that the dimensions of different organs in Bangladeshi population have got variations from those of the western population 5 . It is also observed by reviewing the literature and the texts that several works have been done on the ovary in foreign countries but proper attention has not been given to the normal morphological study in our country 6 . Therefore, the study of the weight of this important organ has been designed to see whether there is any variation with age in Bangladeshi women as well as with those of the western studies.

Ovarian Morphometric and Histologic Characteristics and Correlation with Clinical Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Of note, the findings were not correlated with histopathology [ 30 ]. In a previous study conducted in the same population, the authors found that right ovaries were associated with significantly greater length, breadth and thickness, compared with the left side and the findings were consistent within different age groups [ 21 ].…”

“…All of the specimens that were collected during this time interval in females of reproductive age were included in the present study. Since the existence of differences in the different sides (right and left) is controversial in the literature [ 20 , 21 ], we have included both right-sided and left-sided ovaries, when applicable, in order to (i) avoid bias and (ii) run a comparison between the different sides.…”
