Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the advantages and feasibility of transvaginal excision of ovarian tumor. Methods A series of 62 patients with ovarian benign tumors had the tumors excised transvaginally from Dec 2001 to Oct 2003. The indications of transvaginal surgery, the method of operation, the complications following the operation, the overall operation time, the estimated blood loss during operation, the postoperative complications, and hospital stay days were analyzed retrospectively. Results Transvaginal ovarian tumor excision was successfully completed with neither the aid of laparoscopy or shift to laparotomy. No intra-abdominal spillage of cystic contents occurred. The mean operation time was 39.4 minutes. The estimated blood loss was 37.5ml. No postoperative complications occurred. The mean length of a low fever was 1.3 days, and the time of recovery of bowel movement was 20.1 hours. The average hospital stay was 4.2 days. Conclusion For free benign ovarian tumors, the transvaginal route should be considered to minimize trauma. There would be no skin incision, and it could be carried out in patients who had relatively large ovarian tumors with no intra-abdominal spillage. There would be less blood loss, shorter operation time, shorter hospital stay and lower cost.
