This study introduces a minimally invasive ovarian cystectomy technique for infants using a single umbilical puncture. The method proved effective and safe, offering excellent cosmetic results for pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Ovarian cysts are common in infants, sometimes requiring surgical intervention.
  • Traditional surgical approaches can lead to significant scarring and potential complications.
  • A minimally invasive approach is desirable for pediatric patients to minimize trauma and improve cosmetic outcomes.

Observation:

  • A novel single umbilical puncture technique was employed for ovarian cystectomy in a 2-month-old female infant.
  • A 10-mm trocar and a 3-mm laparoscope were inserted through a semicircular umbilical incision.
  • The ovarian cyst was aspirated and its wall resected, preserving ovarian tissue.

Findings:

  • The single umbilical puncture ovarian cystectomy was performed successfully without complications.

  • The procedure demonstrated technical feasibility in an infant patient.
  • Postoperative recovery was uneventful with an inconspicuous scar and excellent cosmetic result.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable, minimally invasive alternative for pediatric ovarian cystectomy.
    • It potentially reduces surgical trauma and improves cosmetic outcomes in infants.
    • Further studies may validate this approach for a broader range of pediatric gynecologic procedures.
