Abstract

　　Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a relatively uncomplicated process, but extraction of the resected cyst can sometimes be difficult, especially with ovarian dermoid cysts. We report here our method of extraction for ovarian cysts measuring 7-10cm, where we trap the cyst laparoscopically and utilize the 12mm trocar of the umbilical port to extract the cyst externally.
