Purpose of investigation: To examine changes in anti-Müllerian
hormone (AMH) levels following laparoscopic ovarian endometriotic cystectomy with
abdominal wall lifting. Materials and methods: This prospective cohort
study analyzed 32 patients with endometriomas who underwent laparoscopic surgery
between October 2014 and December 2016 in private and university hospitals. We
measured blood AMH levels at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 9 months following a
cystectomy. We also examined the correlations of AMH levels with age at time of
surgery, bilateral cysts, cyst diameter, and Douglas fossa occlusion. Main
outcome measures include the ovarian reserve based on AMH levels.
Results: Compared to baseline (2.14
