All the patients undergoing laparoscopic pelvic surgeries for adnexal masses were analysed for indication, type of procedure, complications and histopathological diagnosis.\nResults: A total of 123 laparoscopic surgeries were performed. Preoperative diagnosis in most of the cases was adnexal mass followed by adnexal evaluation for subfertility. The common surgical procedure was cystectomy followed by salpingo-oophorectomy in 80% of cases. The most common histopathological diagnosis was mature cystic teratoma (42; 34%) followed by endometriosis (29; 23.8%) and cystadenoma (25; 20.3%).\nConclusions: Adnexal evaluation and surgical treatment were performed with laparoscopy. The common pathologies were mature cystic teratoma, endometriosis and ovarian cystadenomas.\nDownloads\nPublished\nHow to Cite\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nCopyright (c) 2021 Amar Nath Chaudhary, Gehanath Baral, Prajmi Shrestha, Rakina Bhanshakarya\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.\nCopyright on any research article in the Nepal Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology is retained by the author(s).\nThe authors grant the Nepal Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology a license to publish the article and identify itself as the original publisher.\nArticles in the Nepal Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology are Open Access articles published under the Creative Commons CC BY-NC License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)\nThis license permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited, and it is not used for commercial purposes.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
