[Enucleation of benign ovarian cysts by laparoscopy].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of improved laparoscopic enucleation of benign ovarian cysts. METHODS: A total of 234 cases of ovarian cysts with 271 cysts were analyzed retrospectively. 152 patients with 177 ovarian cysts (Group A) underwent the improved laparoscopic enucleation and 82 patients with 94 ovarian cysts (Group B) underwent the classic laparoscopic enucleation. The data of operative process and postoperative follow-up were compared between two groups. RESULTS: The rate of spillage of the Group A and Group B was 1.7% and 18.1% (P<0.01), respectively. The operating time was (40 +/-14)min and (47 +/- 16)min (P<0.01), respectively. The blood loss was (25 +/-17)ml and (27 +/- 19)ml (P>0.05), respectively. The bowel deflation recovery time was (18 +/- 8)h and (19 +/- 8)h (P>0.05), respectively. The length of hospital stay was (2.0 +/- 0.5)d and (2.2 +/- 0.8)d (P>0.05), respectively. CONCLUSION: Compared with classic laparoscopic procedure, the improved laparoscopic ovarian enucleation seems to be safer and more effective with shorter operating time.
