The management of certain ovarian cysts has evolved from the traditional and often quite radical surgical approach to a more conservative approach. Much of this change can be attributed to the improvement in laparoscopic surgical technique. After a brief discussion of the differential diagnosis and clinical presentation of ovarian cysts, ultrasonographic features of certain ovarian cysts will b...

Ovarian pregnancy (OP) after embryo transfer is very rare. Due to the rarity and the asymptomatic nature, there are still difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. The traditional operative treatment for OP has been oophorectomy. However, the desire to maintain reproductive capability and improvements in laparoscopy have more recently led to conservative laparoscopic techniques. This rare compli...

The objective was to introduce a new system for transvaginal removal of ovarian cyst and to evaluate its feasibility. With a new transvaginal system, ultrasound-assisted culdotomy, and laparoscopy supported cystectomy if vaginal procedure failed. The authors conducted a retrospective review in which 35 cases using new vaginal ovarian cystectomy were compared with 40 cases of laparoscopic cystec...

The aim of present study was to evaluate intra-abdominal laparoscopic technique in free range male rhesus macaque in terms of rapidity and specificity of the technique . Two hundred twenty free range rhesus macaques were captured by cage trapping method. Anesthesia was achieved using xylazine @2mg/kg and ketamine @ 10mg/kg body weight intramuscularly. One midline and two lateral pre-umblical su...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate use of the Harmonic Scalpel (Ethicon Endo-Surgery Inc., Cincinnati, OH) for performing laparoscopic bilateral ovariectomy in standing horses. STUDY DESIGN Experimental study. ANIMALS Eight mares aged 2-20 years and weighing 410-540 kg. METHODS Standing laparoscopic bilateral ovariectomy was performed in 8 mares with normal reproductive tract anatomy. The Harmonic Sca...

Among the different causes of gynecological acute pelvic pain, ovarian torsion represents a surgical emergency. It is a rare case in the pediatric/adolescent aged group that must be included in the differential diagnosis of any girl with abdominal pain or pelvic/abdominal mass. Current recommendations suggest that laparoscopic detorsion should be performed in order to preserve the integrity of ...

A new laparoscopic technique of ovarian suspension with microsuture that physically separates the ovary from the ovarian fossa to reduce the incidence of post-operative adhesions is described. Four women with adhesions of the ovary to the ovarian fossa and infertility underwent laparoscopic surgery with ovarian suspension. A 6-0 weight polypropylene swaged to a tapered straight needle was passe...

Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery has been increasingly applied to different gynecologic problems with excellent surgical outcome and rapid recovery. Large ovarian cysts, a relatively common gynecologic problem, pose certain challenges to laparoscopic management. Objective: The aim of the present study was to review published reports on laparoscopic surgery for large ovarian cysts and summariz...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical impact of benign ovarian mass on ovarian reserve as measured by serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, antral follicle count (AFC) and ovarian volumes. In addition, the differences in ovarian reserve impairment between endometrioma cystectomy and non-endometrioma cystectomy we...

AIM Ovarian cysts in the newborn period are simple cysts which resolve on their own. Complications like torsion leading to loss of ovarian units are well documented. Surgical treatment should always be performed in a way to protect the ovaries and to ensure future fertility. The aim of this study was to study the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic management of neonatal ovarian cysts. MATERI...
