Laparoscopic oophorectomy is a safe procedure for women, with low complication rates. Further research is needed to distinguish benign from malignant ovarian masses.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Oophorectomy, the surgical removal of ovaries, is a common gynecological procedure.
  • Laparoscopic techniques offer potential benefits over traditional open surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of laparoscopic oophorectomy.
  • To identify common indications and complications associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 312 laparoscopic oophorectomies performed over eight years.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, operative time, hospitalization, and complications.

Main Results:

  • Average patient age was 40.4 years; 36.5% had prior hysterectomy.
  • Median operative time was 120 minutes; 77.6% discharged within 24 hours.

  • Complications occurred in 3.8% of cases; two cases had blood loss >300 mL.
  • Common diagnoses included endometriosis, functional cysts, and normal ovarian tissue; two cases showed borderline malignancy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic oophorectomy is an acceptable surgical option under specific conditions.
    • Further research is required to establish criteria for differentiating benign from malignant ovarian enlargement preoperatively.
