ABSTRACT
STUDY OBJECTIVE:
In this video, we describe a 5-step surgical technique that allows us to safely incise and aspirate the content of large ovarian cysts through a single-port laparoscopic incision. This allows performing laparoscopic oophorectomies instead of large xipho-pubic laparotomies.DESIGN:
A stepwise demonstration of the technique with narrated video footage.SETTING:
Ovarian masses, especially cysts, are common gynecologic conditions [1]. However, depending on their size, large adnexal cysts are usually managed with transverse or midline laparotomies [2]. This is to prevent cyst ruptures and abdominal contamination and ensure oncological safety of the procedure [3-5]. Different leak-proof aspiration techniques have been described in the literature allowing for safe large cyst aspiration and adnexectomy through a mini-laparotomy incision or via laparoscopy [2,3,6-10]. We describe a 5-step surgical technique allowing for closed aspiration of ovarian intracystic fluid and adnexectomy while respecting oncological safety.INTERVENTIONS:
Step 1 Perform diagnostic laparoscopy to rule out peritoneal carcinomatosis contraindicating this procedure and then after cyst exposition, thoroughly dry the cyst wall. Step 1 Bis Cut the cuff of a sterile glove to prepare a square piece of membrane. Step 2 Place a protective gauze and then apply the surgical glue to the ovarian cyst wall followed by the glove/membrane application. Perform a purse suture through the glove/membrane and the ovarian wall superficially to ensure further adhesion and prevent ovarian fluid spillage. Step 3 Incise the ovarian wall, introduce the aspiration cannula and tighten the purse suture to aspirate the cystic fluid. Step 4 After aspiration is complete, tighten the suture and close the glove to guarantee a closed space and prevent abdominal contamination. Step 5 Perform laparoscopic oophorectomy or cystectomy. Safely remove the specimen in an endoscopic retrieval bag through the trocar incision.CONCLUSION:
This technique allows safe laparoscopic large ovarian cysts resections while respecting oncologic safety and preventing intra-abdominal spillage and contamination.Palabras clave
