Background/Aim: The purpose of this article is to review the published literature on single-port laparoscopic (SPL) ovarian cystectomy and to assess whether the reduced port number affects the ovarian reserve in comparison with the conventional multiport laparoscopic (MPL) ovarian cystectomy. Materials and methods: Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) had been proposed as the most accurate marker of ovarian reserve. A review of the current literature was performed based on the preoperative and postoperative AMH after SPL and MPL ovarian cystectomy in adult patients with benign ovarian cysts. Results: Ovarian cystectomy causes a non-statistically significant reduction in AMH levels four weeks postoperatively in the SPL group compared to MPL group[MD=0.11, 95%CI (-0.01, 0.24), p=0.07] . Operative time was significantly longer and blood loss was significantly higher in SPL group. No difference was found to major or overall postoperative complications between the two groups Conclusion: SPL cystectomy recommended as a safe surgical choice for patients who want to preserve their fertility.
