Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience of laparoscopic operation in the treatment of ovarian cysts. Methods Clinical data of 386 patients with ovarian cysts treated laparoscopically from July 1999 to December 2004 in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results Laparoscopic operation was successfully performed in 384 cases, while a conversion to open surgery was required in 2 cases because of previous operation history or pelvic adhesions. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 20.6 ml (range, 10~60 ml) and the mean operating time, 55 min (range, 20~140 min).The mean postoperative hospital stay was 3 days(range,2~5 days).In a follow-up for 1~60 months (mean, 24 months) in 194 cases, pelvioscopy and B-ultrasonography examinations revealed normal findings. Conclusions Laparoscopic operation for ovarian cysts is an effective and safe method. It is characterized with minimal invasion, quick recovery and short hospitalization.
