To investigate the consequence of salpingectomy on ovarian reserve by measuring anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels before in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment salpingectomized women compared with nonsalpingectomized tubal factor infertility, unexplained infertility and fertile control women, to evaluate whether AMH could predict IVF outcome.Cross-sectional study extended from a previous prospective study.Four university fertility clinics.Seventy-one 21 controls.Blood sampling embryo transfer following cycle.Serum oocytes retrieved.Anti-Müllerian were significantly lower group (median 16.1, range 5.2-54 pmol/L) nonsalpingectomy 23.4, 3.5-50 pmol/L; p = 0.04). In all groups, correlated positively number retrieved. predicted poor response (five or fewer oocytes) sensitivity specificity 90% 70%, at 19 pmol/L cut-off value.Serum preserved Fallopian tubes, indicating that might be affected surgery. Furthermore, serum oocyte infertile women.
