    Abstract:
    AIM: Our aim was to evaluate possible adverse effects of tubal ligation on ovarian reserve and ovarian stromal vascular support. METHODS: Ninety-one women who underwent tubal ligation, using a modified Pomeroy technique, were studied. The main outcome measurements were serum follicle stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone and oestradiol levels, ovarian volume, number of antral follicles and Doppler study of ovarian stromal artery on the third day of the menstrual cycle immediately before, 1 month and 12 months after the surgical intervention. RESULTS: Statistically significant elevation of follicle stimulating hormone levels was observed at 1 and 12 months after tubal ligation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Doppler flow studies of the ovarian stromal arteries showed that there were no significant differences before and after tubal ligation.
