This review article outlines the necessary equipment and surgical techniques for performing gynecologic laparoscopy in pediatric and adolescent patients. The authors emphasize minimally invasive approaches as the standard of care for treating specific pelvic pathologies, including adnexal masses, chronic pelvic pain, ovarian torsion, and endometriosis. They also address the clinical considerations surrounding incidental appendectomy within this demographic. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically its surgical management via laparoscopy in children and adolescents.

Abstract

Minimally invasive techniques to treat children and adolescents requiring surgery have increasingly become standard of care. Similarly, gynecologists frequently use laparoscopy to treat pelvic pathology. We present the necessary equipment and surgical techniques required to perform gynecologic procedures on the pediatric and adolescent population. We will give particular focus to the treatment of adnexal masses, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, and ovarian torsion. We will also discuss the role of the incidental appendectomy in children and adolescents.
