Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the effect of unilateral salpingectomy on the number of mature follicles in the ipsilateral ovary during an assisted reproductive technology (ART) stimulation cycle, as compared to the contralateral ovary. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center, case–control 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 (≥16 mm) and intermediate follicles (13–15.5 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.
