Laparoscopic adnexectomy is a safe and effective technique for removing benign adnexal tumors larger than 4 cm. This minimally invasive approach resulted in no complications in 30 cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Adnexal masses are common gynecological conditions.
  • Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly used for gynecological procedures.
  • Large adnexal tumors traditionally required open surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic adnexectomy for benign adnexal tumors larger than 4 cm.
  • To demonstrate that large tumors can be effectively managed with this minimally invasive technique.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 30 cases of laparoscopic adnexectomy for benign adnexal tumors (>4 cm diameter) over 12 months.
  • Exclusion of cases with suspected malignancy, cystectomies, and cystotomies.
  • Indications included functional/organic cysts, tubo-ovarian abscesses, and adnexal torsion.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic adnexectomy was successfully performed in all 30 cases.
  • Tumor sizes ranged up to [specific size if available, otherwise omit or generalize].
  • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported during the 6-18 month follow-up period.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic adnexectomy is a viable and safe surgical option for selected patients with large benign adnexal tumors.
  • This minimally invasive approach offers a favorable outcome without compromising patient safety.
  • Further research may explore expanded indications and long-term outcomes.
