Therapeutic effect of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic surgery versus triple-port laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cyst.

ObjectiveTo compare the therapeutic effect of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic surgery (TSPLS) and three-port laparoscopic surgery (TPLS) on ovarian cyst.MethodsClinical data of 60 patients with ovarian cyst admitted to our hospital were respectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a TPLS group (n=30) and a TSPLS group (n=30) according to surgical methods. Clinical indicators, visual analogue scale (VAS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and satisfaction regarding aesthetic appearance of the incision were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe operation time, time to anal exhaust and hospital stay in the TSPLS group were shorter than those in the TPLS group, and lower postoperative VAS, SAS and SDS scores and higher quality-of-life score were seen in the TSPLS group (all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the TSPLS group was lower than that in the TPLS group (P<0.05). The overall satisfaction in the TSPLS group was significantly higher than that in the TPLS group (93.33% vs. 66.67%; χ2=51.526, P=0.001).ConclusionCompared with TPLS, TSPLS has better therapeutic effect on ovarian cyst. TSPLS can improve the clinical indications of patients with higher safety.
