Ovarian reserve after internal iliac artery ligation.
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research 2018 September
AIM: Ligation of major vessels supplying ovaries may alter hormones and ovarian reserve due to disturbances of vascular circulation. Our purpose is to measure serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and ovarian volume in patients who had internal iliac artery ligation (IIAL) and/or IIAL plus hysterectomy due to uterine atony.
METHODS: Patients who underwent IIAL and IIAL+ hysterectomy were evaluated 6 months after their operations and were compared with the control group. The hormones, ovarian volume and antral follicle count (AFC) were measured in each group.
RESULTS: Serum AMH levels in the post-partum 6th month interval were lower in the IIAL group than in the control group and were the lowest in the IIAL+ hysterectomy group. Similar to AMH results, AFC and ovarian volumes were also lowest in the IIAL+ hysterectomy group.
CONCLUSION: IIAL and hysterectomy are lifesaving interventions during peripartum hemorrhage; however, they might alter ovarian reserve in the short term.
