Small-size ovarian endometriosis. The state of ovarian reserve before and after organ-sparing surgery
This study found that ovarian reserve parameters like ovarian tissue volume, antral follicle count, and AMH levels decreased less after puncture-ablation surgery compared to excision surgery for ovarian endometriosis.

This paper studied ovarian reserve characteristics in 73 patients with small-size ovarian endometriosis treated surgically, comparing excision by stripping (n=39) versus puncture-ablation (n=34). Ovarian reserve was assessed using ovarian tissue volume, antral follicle number, and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) measured preoperatively and again at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. The authors found that after puncture-ablation, ovarian tissue volume and antral follicle number were higher than after excision (volume 1.2-fold higher and antral follicles 1.8-fold higher), and AMH levels were higher as well (2.8 ± 0.4 vs 1.4 ± 0.2 ng/ml). This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically small-size ovarian endometriosis and how different organ-sparing surgical techniques affect ovarian reserve before and after surgery.
