Laparoscopic adnexectomy
Abstract
We are now performing laparoscopic adnexectomy in selected cases of benign pathology of the adnexa. This report is presented to show that even fairly large tumors may be removed by this technique. It involves 30 cases of tumors having a diameter more than 4 cm that were operated on over a period of 12 months. Cystectomies and cystotomies were not included in this study. Patients were excluded if there was any suspicion of malignancy. Indications for laparoscopy were functional and organic cysts, tubo-ovarian abscesses, and adnex torsions due to large hydrosalpinx. No complications have been encountered during the laparoscopic operation or during the follow-up period of 6-18 months.
