Laparoscopy-assisted mini-laparotomy: management of a giant (32 cm) ovarian cyst

Laparoscopy-assisted mini-laparotomy: management of a giant (32 cm) ovarian cyst Laparoskopi asiste mini-laparotomi: dev bir over kistinin (32 cm) yönetimi DOI: https://doi.org/10.5455/GMJ-30-2011-42Keywords: laparoscopy, laparoscopy-assisted surgery, minimal access surgical procedures, mucinous cystadenoma, ovaryAbstract Ovarian cysts over 5 and 15 cm are described as large and giant, respectively. Ovarian cysts over 5 cm without regression in 6-8 weeks are indicated for surgery. Although there are published data about the laparoscopic or laparoscopy assisted management of the large and giant cysts, especially in cases of giant cysts midline laparotomy is preferred by many surgeons. In this paper, we present the management of a 32 cm mucinous ovarian cyst by laparoscopy-assisted mini-laparotomy. References Eltabbakh GH. Laparoscopic management of ovarian cysts.
