Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of endometrioma surgery on ovarian reserve by measuring anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis included observational studies and randomized clinical trials published in English referenced in MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Cochrane (1982-2019). We included studies that reported AMH levels in the pre and post-operative period of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for endometrioma. Preoperative AMH was defined as the baseline AMH; short term AMH was measured no later than a month after surgery; medium term AMH was measured between one and six months after surgery; and long-term AMH was measured six or more months after surgery.
Results: Thirty-six studies met the inclusion criteria. A significant decrease was observed in short, medium and long-term post-operative AMH levels when compared with baseline AMH. However, there were no differences between short and long-term post-operative AMH levels, suggesting a non-significant recovery after one year of follow-up. A significant decrease in post-operative AMH was observed in bilateral endometriomas compared with unilateral cases. In addition, patients with endometriomas presented a significant decline in post-operative AMH compared with patients with other benign ovarian conditions. The decrease in post-operative AMH was significantly greater in bilateral cystectomy when compared with vaporization with bipolar energy or laser. We also observed a greater decrease in post-operative AMH with bipolar energy hemostasis compared with suture and hemostatic agents. These results should be taken with caution due to the high heterogeneity of the studies analyzed.
Conclusions: Endometrioma surgery has a deleterious effect on short, medium, and long-term post-operative AMH levels. Bilateral endometriomas and endometriomas greater than 7 cm have been associated with greater decreases in AMH. The mechanical resection of healthy tissue and the inflammatory damage on the ovarian cortex might explain the diminishing of ovarian reserve.

Medium-term Ovarian Volume and Anti-Müllerian Hormone After Ovarian-sparing Surgery for Benign Neoplasms in Pediatric Patients.

Public Health School, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile.
Background And Aims: Benign ovarian neoplasms are common in the pediatric population. In young adult women, oophorectomy has been shown to negatively impact long-term ovarian endocrine function. Recently, ovarian-sparing surgery (OSS) has been proposed as it offers similar results to oophorectomy in terms of recurrence rates.

Objective: To assess and compare the clinical efficacy of scar pregnancy debridement by a combination of reversible bilateral uterine and internal iliac artery blockade with hysterolaparoscopy, as a management strategy for cesarean scar pregnancy.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with cesarean scar pregnancy who underwent combined surgical intervention involving hysteroscopy and laparoscopy between May 2020 and February 2024. The study population was divided into two groups based on the type of arterial blockade used: a uterine artery blockade group and an internal iliac artery blockade group.
Robotic Surgery in Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Retrospective Comparison of Ileopectopexy and Sacrocolpopexy.

Urogynaecology, Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is prevalent among women over 50, with sacrocolpopexy being a common surgical treatment, though it can lead to complications like bowel dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
- This study compares the outcomes of robotic sacrocolpopexy and ileopectopexy, analyzing data from 35 patients who underwent these procedures between 2021 and 2023.
- Results indicated that ileopectopexy had no complications compared to sacrocolpopexy, which had some bowel issues, suggesting that ileopectopexy could be a safer alternative, although further research is necessary to confirm these results.

Objective: To evaluate whether performing laparoscopic endometrioma surgery in the follicular or luteal phase affects changes in ovarian reserve.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in a university-affiliated hospital. A total of 55 women who underwent unilateral laparoscopic endometrioma removal were included in the study.
Introduction: Renal transplant is considered to be the most optimum treatment option for chronic kidney disease. One common post-operative complication that can compromise the graft function is lymphocele. Despite the technical advances, the incidence of lymphocele is not negligible.
