Description

Aim: We aimed to analyze if the laparoscopic tubal sterilization 
procedures, bilateral salpingectomy (BS) and bilateral tubal ligation 
(BTL) had an effect on ovarian reserve, due to affection of anastomoses 
formed by ovarian and uterine arteries which contribute ovarian 
perfusion. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study 
included 87 women of whom 29 had BTL, 29 BS and 29 control group. 
Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and Follicle Stimulating Hormone 
(FSH) and Estradiol (E2) levels on 3rd day of menses were examined 
preoperatively (0.month), postoperative 1st month and postoperative 
3rd month. Results: There were not a statistically significant difference 
in terms of preoperative, postoperative 1st and 3rd month AMH levels 
compared in BTL, BS and control group. (p= 0.906; p= 0.81 and p= 
0.182, respectively).  Conclusions: Both of the two procedures are 
effective sterilization methods and we did not find a negative impact 
on the ovarian reserve when FSH, E2 and AMH levels were analyzed.
