Medium-term Ovarian Volume and Anti-Müllerian Hormone After Ovarian-sparing Surgery for Benign Neoplasms in Pediatric Patients

jpedsurg.org

Benign ovarian neoplasms are common in the pediatric population. In young adult women, oophorectomy has been shown to negatively impact long-term ovarian endocrine function. Recently, ovarian-sparing surgery (OSS) has been proposed as it offers similar results to oophorectomy in terms of recurrence rates. However, the impact of OSS on functional preservation in girls and adolescents remains unclear due to limited follow-up data. The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian function and its morphological correlation in the medium term in girls undergoing OSS for benign neoplasms.

In brief

This study examines medium-term ovarian function following ovarian-sparing surgery in pediatric patients with benign ovarian tumors. Researchers assess ovarian reserve using anti-Müllerian hormone levels and ovarian volume to determine whether this conservative surgical approach preserves endocrine function in girls and adolescents.
