Objectives:
To study the adnexectomy by laparoendoscopic single-site surgery with conventional laparoscopic instruments, we standardised the technique of salpingo-oophorectomy.
Patients And Methods:
In this prospective study, all patients with adnexectomies from June 2010 to January 2014 were included. Laparoendoscopic single-site adnexectomy with conventional instruments is described step by step in order to make it available for the majority of gynecologic surgeons. Laparoconversions and complications are also noted.
Results:
We realized 42 bilateral salpingo-oophorectomies, 16 single salpingo-oophorectomy. The average operative time was 45min (15-120) with negligible blood losses. There were no laparoconversions and very few complications. After 15-20 adnexectomies, the procedure took less and less time.
Discussion And Conclusion:
Adnexectomy by laparoendoscopic single-site surgery procedure with conventional laparoscopic instruments is easily reproducible with standardized steps and has many advantages.
