    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Surgery
    • Surgical Complications
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Peritoneal cysts are infrequent complications following abdominal surgery.
    • Few cases have been documented in medical literature.
    • These cysts can mimic other gynecologic pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report four cases of peritoneal cysts after gynecologic operations.
    • To highlight diagnostic challenges and management strategies.
    • To emphasize the importance of considering peritoneal cysts in postoperative patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of four patients.
    • Review of clinical presentation, imaging, and surgical outcomes.
    • Analysis of preoperative diagnoses versus final pathology.

    Main Results:

    • Cysts appeared 1.5 to 8 months postoperatively.
    • Patients presented with pelvic pain and mass; no signs of inflammation.
    • Ovarian neoplasm was suspected in three cases; only one was correctly diagnosed preoperatively.
    • Three patients treated with resection; one with percutaneous drainage (9 months for resolution).

    Conclusions:

    • Peritoneal cysts pose a diagnostic challenge post-gynecologic surgery.
    • Surgical resection is an effective treatment.
    • Percutaneous drainage can be an alternative, though resolution may be prolonged.
    • No recurrences were observed at one-year follow-up.
