The effects of salpingectomy on the serum level of anti-Müllerian hormone: A single-blind randomized controlled trial

Background and Aim : Concerns exist over the effects of salpingectomy on ovarian function. This studyaimed to assess the effects of salpingectomy on the serum level of anti-Müllerian hormone.Methods : This single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted in 2017–2018 on 86 candidates forhysterectomy. Participants were randomly allocated to undergo either hysterectomy without salpingectomy(control group) or hysterectomy with salpingectomy (intervention group). Serum anti-Müllerian hormonelevel was measured both before and three months after surgery. Data were analyzed through the Mann-Whitney U test, the Chi-square test, the analysis of covariance, and the linear regression analysis.Results : The mean value of Serum anti-Müllerian hormone level did not significantly change in the studygroups (P > 0.05). After removing the effects of confounders, study groups did not significantly differ fromeach other respecting the posttest mean value of serum anti-Müllerian hormone level (P = 0.868).Conclusion : Salpingectomy does not significantly affect serum anti-Müllerian hormone level and ovarianfunction.
