title: [Changes in ovaries after hysterectomy].
abstract: Although simple hysterectomy is one of the most frequent gynecological operations, there is still the lack of clear criterions to the procedure with macroscopic unchanged ovaries in perimenopausal term. The aim of study was to examine setting changes in ovaries after hysterectomy. The study included 40 women aged between 40 and 49 years, who underwent hysterectomy due to myoma, leaving their bilateral changes in ovaries connected with age two study groups were distinguished, the first group included 21 patients aged 40-44 years and the second one--19 patients aged 45-49 years. The occurring of pathological changes in remaining ovaries and changes in ovaries function were estimated. The period of observation lasted two years. The function of ovaries was observed by estimation of FSH and of E2 and of total volume of ovaries before operations and after 6, 12, 24 months following hysterectomy. The results of observation were compared with similar marks of female patients with intact uterus and were exactly in the same age group. Pathological changes of uterine appendages as ovary cyst that needed a repeat operation was in 1 patient-(2.5%) The fundamental statistical differences in level of FSH and of E2, volume of ovaries between examined and controlled groups were not important. Also the trends in changes of the level of these parameters taking place during the observation in both study groups were not statistically significant. On the basis of the examinations it can be stated that the hysterectomy in the group of women at the age 40-49--doesn't have an influence on function of remaining ovaries. The decision how to treat the ovaries in case of hysterectomy should take into consideration the results of an interview and individual patient's preferences.
