[Treatment of ovarian cysts by laparoscopic surgery: a retrospective study of 40 cases]. / Le traitement coeliochirurgical des kystes de l'ovaire. Etude retrospective a propos de 40 cas.

The ovarian cysts treatment has taken advantage of the improvement made on the operating laparoscopy, that gives progressively better results than those of the laparotomy. On the one hand, laparoscopic surgery reduces the traditional surgery constraints by giving an exact histologic diagnosis and a radical cyst treatment. On the other hand, it prevents against inherent recurrence related to a sample puncture, and en the same time diminish adhesion risks. The laparoscopy can treat all kind of histologic benign ovarian cysts. We report the first experience of the Maternité Universitaire des Orangers in treating ovarian cysts by laparoscopic surgery.
