Background: Clinical cases have been reported with women who got pregnant with confirmed low serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations, thus demonstrating that low serum AMH concentration cut-points could be fairly specific for poor ovarian response (POR) to gonadotrophin stimulation, but not for pregnancy. That observation prompted the question whether serum AMH concentration accurately corresponded to the whole amount of AMH secreted by granulosa cells.

Objectives: To measure AMH levels in peritoneal fluid and their correlations with serum AMH concentrations.

Objective: To assess anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels as a marker of early abortion in the first trimester among women younger than 35 years.

Methods: Prospective study of women aged 18-34 years with a spontaneous pregnancy at less than 12.6 gestational weeks in Łódź, Poland, between January 2017 and November 2018.

Background: The widespread availability of ultrasonography means that transvaginal ultrasonography has become a routine procedure during gynecological examinations, even in asymptomatic patients. Nowadays the imaging technology offered by ultrasonography and tumor biomarkers give us an opportunity to implement transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration as a less radical treatment of simple ovarian cysts (SOC).

Objectives: The aim of the study was a retrospective evaluation of the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration of SOC in postmenopausal and premenopausal patients.

Objective: To determine the long-term impact of laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriomas and benign cysts on ovarian reserve and selection of the most effective method of assessment.

Methods: The present study was carried out between November 2013 and December 2016. Participants were assigned to laparoscopic cystectomy for diagnosed unilateral benign ovarian cysts and divided into groups: the endometrioma group (EG) (n=35) and the other benign ovarian tumor group (OG) (n=35).

Objectives: The golden standard in treatment benign ovarian cysts is laparoscopic cystectomy, but it may also influence women's fertility. The aim of the study was to compare women's fertility after laparoscopic cystectomy of endometrioma versus other benign ovarian tumors.

Materials And Methods: Out of the 123 patients operated because of benign ovarian tumor (OT), 66 underwent laparoscopic cystectomy of endometrioma (endometrioma group) and 57 underwent laparoscopic cystectomy of other benign ovarian tumor like: functional cyst, hemorrhagic cyst, yellow body cyst or mature teratoma (reference group).

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata is a very rare, benign entity of unknown pathogenesis, characterized by the presence of multiple subperitoneal or peritoneal smooth muscle nodules throughout the peritoneal surface. Mostly the course is asymptomatic and it is found incidentally during laparotomy, laparoscopy or cesarean section. Non-specific symptoms such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, abdominal mass or gastrointestinal signs are described.

Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is usually located in the Fallopian tube and it has a significant adverse effect on womens fertility Three types of EP treatment include: expectant, medical, and surgical radical (salpingectomy) or conservative (salpingotomy) management.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare women's fertility after surgical radical or conservative treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy

Materials And Methods: Out of the 58 patients operated because of tubal EP pregnancy 22 underwent laparoscopic salpingotomy (group 1) and 36 laparoscopic salpingectomy (group 2). EP-related data were obtained from medical documentation (the symptoms, diagnostic tests, EP risk factors, medical reproductive and surgical history clinical status during EP surgery).
