Abstract:
Developmental cyst is occasionally seen in children but are less common in adults. Complete removal of developmental cyst is necessary because there are risk of infection, squamous cell carcinoma, and recurrence due to incomplete resection. The best approach for resection of developmental cyst is still controversial. Although transsacral approach, open abdominal approach, or a combination of both have been often employed to date, reports of laparoscopic surgery have been appearing in recent years. We performed laparoscopic surgery for four patients with this disease: (i) 29-year-old woman with epidermoid cyst; (ii) 21-year-old woman with dermoid cyst; (iii) 55-year-old woman with epidermoid cyst; and (iv) 77-year-old woman with epidermoid cyst. No perioperative complications occurred and no recurrence has developed so far in any patients. Laparoscopic surgery can be considered as one of the optimal treatment options for developmental cyst.
