Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center, case\u2013control cohort study conducted from 2017 to 2022. Patients from 18 to 43 years old who underwent at least one ART cycle before and after a unilateral salpingectomy were included. The number of recruited follicles, including mature (\u226516 mm) and intermediate follicles (13\u201315.5 mm), on the salpingectomy side (case) were compared to those present on the contralateral ovary (control) during an ART attempt. To take into account the inter-ovarian variability, the comparison was performed on two ART cycles, performed before then after the salpingectomy. Results: Overall, 24 patients were included in our study. While the number of mature follicles was similar in both ovaries before surgery, the mean number of mature follicles was significantly reduced after salpingectomy in the operated side, as compared to the control side, being, respectively 3.00 vs. 5.08 (p = 0.048). There was no significant difference between the intermediate and total recruited follicles. Conclusions: Our study suggests that salpingectomy may impact the follicle recruitment on the ipsilateral side by altering the vascularization during mesosalpinx coagulation. Gynecologists should be mindful of this concept and accurately set surgical indications. Beyond the indication, this emphasizes the critical role of having infertility surgeons sensitive to fertility preservation for optimal management of ART patients. Further studies with larger patient populations are required to confirm these results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12154942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,28]],"date-time":"2023-07-28T02:08:00Z","timestamp":1690510080000},"page":"4942","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Ovarian Follicular Response Is Altered by Salpingectomy in Assisted Reproductive Technology: A Pre- and Postoperative Case\u2013Control Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Laurianne","family":"Reitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Foch Hospital, 92150 Suresnes, France"},{"name":"Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, University Hospital of Reunion Island, BP 350, 97448 Saint Pierre Cedex, France"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, F\u00e9lix Guyon Hospital, CHU Nord of La R\u00e9union, 97400 Saint-Denis, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7561-239X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Balaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, F\u00e9lix Guyon Hospital, CHU Nord of La R\u00e9union, 97400 Saint-Denis, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Basile","family":"Pache","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Fribourg Cantonal Hospital, 1708 Fribourg, Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Fribourg, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9817-9445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anis","family":"Feki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Fribourg Cantonal Hospital, 1708 Fribourg, Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Fribourg, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0933-662X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gr\u00e9goire","family":"Le Conte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Foch Hospital, 92150 Suresnes, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Achraf","family":"Benammar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Foch Hospital, 92150 Suresnes, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marc","family":"Ayoubi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Foch Hospital, 92150 Suresnes, France"},{"name":"Medical School, University of Versailles Saint-Quentin, 78000 Versailles, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"180","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gyobfe.2003.12.011","article-title":"Recommendations for clinical practice: Management of extra-uterine pregnancy","volume":"32","author":"Goffinet","year":"2004","journal-title":"Gynecol.
