“…Chang and Iwase were the first to report the decline of serum AMH levels after excision of endometrioma(s), especially in bilateral cases [91,92]. Afterwards, numerous other reports confirmed that AMH levels decreased after removal of endometriomas [93][94][95][96], and steeper reductions were observed after bilateral procedures [97,98]. Two systematic reviews evaluating the effect of endometrioma surgery on ovarian reserve as assessed by serum AMH measurement have been published [99,100].…”

Ovarian reserve reflects the quality and quantity of available oocytes. This reserve has become indispensable for the better understanding of reproductive potential. Measurement of the serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level allows quantitative evaluation of ovarian reserve. It has been applied to a wide range of clinical conditions, and it is well established that the measurement of serum AMH levels is more useful than qualitative evaluation based on the menstrual cycle. AMH levels are monitored during infertility treatments; in patients undergoing medically assisted reproductive technology; and in the diagnosis of ovarian failure, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and granulosa cell tumor. It is also useful in the evaluation of iatrogenic ovarian damage. Population-based studies have indicated a potential role for serum AMH in the planning of reproductive health management. While AMH is currently the best measure of ovarian reserve, its predictive value for future live births remains controversial. Furthermore, there is a serious practical issue in the interpretation of test results, as currently available assay kits use different assay ranges and coefficients of variation due to the absence of an international reference standard. The pros and cons of the serum AMH level as a definitive measure of ovarian reserve merits further review in order to guide future research.

“…It may also be performed before in vitro fertilization (IVF) if the diameter of endometrioma is >4 cm [6]. Recently, several clinical studies, including our own [7], have noted the deleterious effect of endometrioma cystectomy on ovarian reserve [8,9,10,11]. Inadvertently, removal of primordial follicles during cystectomy, the inflammation process and thermal tissue damage due to bipolar electrocautery usage are the main causative factors for diminished ovarian reserve, but endometrioma per se may also contribute to the decrement in ovarian reserve [12].…”

Background: Our aim was to determine the effect of single endometriomas ≤3 cm in diameter per se on ovarian reserve in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Methods: We enrolled 19 consecutive infertile patients (29 cycles) who had unilateral single endometriomas ≤3 cm in diameter and who underwent ICSI. Results: The mean age of the patients was 33.3 ± 4.9 years. The mean diameter of endometriomas was 21.8 ± 4.9 mm. Left- and right-sided endometriomas were 34.5 and 65.5%, respectively. The number of oocytes retrieved from ovaries with endometriomas and contralateral normal ovaries was comparable (5.9 ± 4.3 vs. 5.4 ± 3.8). Conclusion: Endometriomas ≤3 cm in diameter per se did not have a deleterious effect on ovarian reserve in ICSI cycles.

“…Recently a systematic review (metaanalysis) of changes in AMH after surgical excision of endometrioma shows 9 of 11 studies documented a statistically significant reduction of serum AMH level after surgery (21) . The two studies failing to document this decrease were published by the same study group (Ercan etal 2010, 2011) (22,23) The studies evaluating serum AMH level serially after surgery documented that this reduction occurred early, being already evident at 1 week after surgery. Thereafter, levels remained stable or mildly recovered (24, 25, and 26) .…”
