Popis:	Summary Ovarian blood supply and function were assessed before and after hysterectomy in 43 patients and 30 healthy subjects (control group). Before the hysterectomy, transvaginal colour Doppler resistance index values of ovarian artery and hormonal levels were measured. Five days and 6 months after operation, all these measurements were repeated and compared with those of a control group. The sole hormone whose serum level decreased on the 5th postoperative day was oestradiol. Serum levels of all the other hormones remained unchanged 5 days and 6 months after the surgical operations. We also did not ® nd any statistically signi® cant difference between the preoperative, the postoperative and the control group resistance index of the ovarian arteries. We propose that the decision whether to preserve or remove the ovaries must be based on assessment of their functional status. Advantages and disadvantages of leaving ovaries intact should be carefully evaluated and the most useful approach applied to each patient on an individual basis.
