Aim:
This study primarily aims to describe the safety and efficacy of a novel two-port (5 and 10-mm) laparoscopic surgery (TPLS) approach for benign adnexal masses compared with conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery (CMLS) in excisional procedures such as salpingectomy and oophorectomy.
Methods:
This is a retrospective case-control study. Forty-four patients were divided into two groups: two-port (5 mm and 10 mm) laparoscopic surgery group (n: 22) and conventional multiport (three/four port) laparoscopic surgery group (n: 22), with similar indications. All procedures, except ovarian detorsions, included salpingectomy, oophorectomy or salpingo-ophorectomy. The groups were evaluated using their demographic, clinical, intraoperative and postoperative data, and survey questions that were asked were used for analyzing cosmetic satisfaction, surgical satisfaction and preference rates of the TPLS.
Results:
There were no significant differences between the groups on demographic features. All patients were discharged within 24 h after both the procedures without any major (organ injury) or minor complication. Surgical satisfaction range was 8.82 (±1.01) in TPLS group and 7.27 (±1.6) in the CMLS group, and differences were significant (P = 0.002). Satisfaction with cosmesis was 95% in the TPLS group and 77% in the CMLS group, and this difference was not significant (P = 0.11). The preferences rate of TPLS was 68% among the 44 women.
Conclusion:
Novel TPLS is feasible and safe in expert hands. In addition, it provides more surgical satisfaction to patients. However, there were not significant differences in long-term cosmesis results between the TPLS and CMLS groups.
