Impaired ovarian blood flow and reduced antral follicle count following laparoscopic salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy

Abstract

Ovarian function seems to be impaired after laparoscopic unilateral salpingectomy at short-term assessment.

Evaluation of Effect of Bilateral Total Salpingectomy on Ovarian Function Among Pre-Menopausal Women Undergoing Abdominal Hysterectomy

“…12 The increase in the ovarian volume in both the groups in our study can be explained by various previous studies. Study by Elinia et al 14 showed that "a significant increase in ovarian volume was observed 6 and 12 months after TAH.…”

Evaluation of the effects of single or multiple dose methotrexate administration, salpingectomy on ovarian reserve of rat with the measurement of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and histological analysis

“…Salpingectomy is another treatment option and most favorite surgical procedure for EP [4]. There were many studies that evaluated the impact of salpingectomy on ovarian reserve.…”

“…Salpingectomy is a surgical option for the treatment of selected patients with EP [3]. Both surgical and medical methods for EP were found to affect ovarian reserve by impairing the proliferation of the germinal cells or blood supply of the ovary [2,4]. However, recently published studies suggested that single-dose MTX in the treatment of EP is safer and may be the first treatment choice [5,6].…”

Rapid 3D Imaging of Contrast Flow: Demonstration of a Dual Beam Technique

“…Additional Doppler volumetric scans with various quantitative blood-flow measures have been conducted in a variety of organs. Examples include breast (Bhatti et al 2001;Carson et al 1998, Hochmuth et al 2002, prostate (Moskalik et al 2001a(Moskalik et al , 2001bPotdevin et al 2001), uterus (Jokubkiene et al 2006), placenta (Merce et al 2005), and ovary (Chan et al 2003). Mehta et al (2004) have reviewed various studies which show the advantages of 3D ultrasound with and without contrast enhancement relative to 2D scans in the detection and staging of prostate cancer.…”
