Massive, benign, cystic ovarian tumors: A technical modification for minimally invasive resection

The majority of large, cystic ovarian tumors presenting in children are benign and amenable to ovarian sparing surgery (OSS). Laparoscopy is impractical in these cases and when attempted has been associated with a high rate of intraperitoneal fluid spill. We present a modified technique for controll...

Zusammenfassung:The majority of large, cystic ovarian tumors presenting in children are benign and amenable to ovarian sparing surgery (OSS). Laparoscopy is impractical in these cases and when attempted has been associated with a high rate of intraperitoneal fluid spill. We present a modified technique for controlled cyst decompression that allows delivery of the ovary through minilaparotomy and subsequent OSS. Criteria that must be met for the procedure to be undertaken are discussed.
