Abstract:
The massive ovarian cyst (greater than 25 pounds) presents a challenging opportunity for surgical intervention and potential cure of a debilitating problem. Although infrequently seen, such a patient requires awareness of the unique problems removal of these large masses may cause. Successful management requires a comprehensive approach before, during, and after the operative procedure. There are three keys to optimal management: 1) a multisystem, team approach, 2) intact cyst removal, and 3) a special incision and reconstructive technique.
