Abstract
We assessed the associations between preoperative and postoperative serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and parameters of endometriosis and endometriomas surgery with the success of infertility treatments after cystectomy. Seventeen out of 54 patients got pregnant during the infertility treatments. In these patients, the median interval from surgery to conception was 16.3 months. The serum AMH levels 1-year postoperatively were significantly higher in the pregnant group compared to the non-pregnant group (3.44 ± 1.78 versus 2.17 ± 2.24 ng/ml, p = 0.049). The median interval from surgery to recurrence was 34.4 months, and no significant differences were found in the serum AMH levels at any time point between the recurrence and non-recurrence groups. Serum AMH levels 1 year after laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriomas may predict the success of postoperative infertility treatments, but not a recurrence of endometriomas.Entities:
