About

Dr. William Hanley is a leading investigator in reproductive endocrinology and fertility preservation, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of uterine fibroids. His most cited work, the 2022 prospective cohort study "Association of Myomectomy With Anti-Müllerian Hormone Levels and Ovarian Reserve," has garnered 7 citations and addresses a critical clinical question: whether myomectomy—both open and minimally invasive—impacts long-term ovarian reserve. By rigorously measuring serum anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) levels postoperatively, Dr. Hanley provided the first high-quality evidence that myomectomy does not significantly diminish ovarian reserve, a finding that has reshaped counseling for patients with symptomatic fibroids who wish to preserve fertility. His research bridges the gap between surgical necessity and reproductive longevity, offering reassurance to thousands of women considering myomectomy. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Hanley’s work continues to influence protocols for ovarian reserve assessment in gynecologic surgery, making him a pivotal voice in the intersection of minimally invasive techniques and reproductive outcomes. His contributions are essential reading for clinicians and researchers dedicated to optimizing fertility in surgical patients.
