Background and Objectives : The study investigated whether the method of achieving hemostasis affects the ovarian reserve in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery due to ovarian tumors or cysts. Materials and Methods : Patients with unilateral tumors or ovarian cysts, who qualified for laparoscopic tumor enucleation, were randomly selected to receive modified polysaccharides or bipolar coagulation. Ovarian reserve was analyzed by anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level. Results : The study included 38 patients: 19 patients in the modified polysaccharide group and 19 in the bipolar coagulation group. Patients after bipolar coagulation treatment had statistically significantly lower AMH 6 months after surgery compared to the group treated with modified starch. The levels of AMH in the study and control groups were 3.96 +/- 2.12 vs. 2.51 +/- 1.39 ng/mL, respectively; p = 0.018. A statistically significant decrease in AMH was also demonstrated in the bipolar coagulation group as compared to the preoperative assessment ( p = 0.049). There was no statistically significant decrease in AMH in the group of patients treated with the modified starch. Conclusions : Using a modified polysaccharide during laparoscopic cystectomy is effective and has a positive effect on the ovarian reserve compared to the use of bipolar coagulation. Both the AMH level 6 months after surgery and the percentage decrease in AMH were more favorable in the group of patients treated with modified starch.
