Study Objective |
To present our experience of laparoscopic resection of pediatric benign ovarian teratomas with gonadal preservation, using a homemade glove retrieval bag.
Design, Setting, Participants, Interventions, and Main Outcome Measures |
Review of all girls with benign ovarian teratomas who were managed with laparoscopic ovarian-sparing surgery (OSS) at our hospital between January 2013 and December 2018.
Results |
Eleven patients were included for analysis with a mean age of 6.1 years. Ten patients received elective surgery, whereas 1 patient received emergency surgery because of ovarian torsion. Main indication for OSS was the existence of a dissection plane between tumor margins and healthy ovarian tissue. Postoperative outcome and follow-up were uneventful with a median follow-up of 30.1 months (range; 12-60 months).
Conclusion |
Laparoscopic OSS can be safely performed for these tumors. Laparoscopic magnification with energy devices are excellent tools in such procedures. The homemade glove bag can be used to retrieve the tumor effectively in countries with limited resources.
