Aims of Tr of
ovarian tumour in very yoing women/ teenagers:-Ovarian tissue conservation Factors Likely to Affect the
Choice of Therapy
If ovarian surgery for cysts, fibromas, adhesions or
adnexal tumours is indicated in infertility patients, the major goal of any
surgical intervention is to preserve as much undamaged ovarian tissue as
possible. Many comparisons of laparoscopic ovarian cyst enucleation versus
minilaparotomy or laparotomy have been carried out and the outcome clearly
shows that no matter what type of ovarian surgery is performed, it should be
with ovarian tissue conservation. For individual patients and their
reproductive outcome, the size of abdominal incision, laparoscopy, laparotomy
or even vaginal surgery seems to be less important than ovarian functionality.
Therefore, every surgeon should apply the method he can best perform with the
goal of preserving as much ovarian tissue as possible.
It is generally thought that laparoscopy is superior to
laparotomy in the management of benign adnexal cysts as it is associated with
shorter hospital stay, less postoperative pain, a better cosmetic outcome and
a faster recovery. However, minilaparotomy also requires no sophisticated
equipment or very specialised training but utilises basic, classical techniques
and is a
patient- friendly technology. In situations where laparoscopic
ovarian cyst enucleation is technically not possible, Laparotomy
is still a safe technique.
A comparison of the laparoscopic and laparoscopic approach
regarding outcome, infection, pain and consecutive fertility revealed an
advantage of laparoscopy over laparotomy, especially in terms of perioperative
morbidity and post-operative pain .Operating time and intraoperative
complications were similar for both approaches. At present, laparoscopy should definitely be considered the gold
standard for the management of benign adnexal disease.
Intraoperative spillage can be avoided in both laparoscopy and laparotomy.
Tubal pathology in benign cases, such as ectopic
pregnancies, Hydro or pyosalpinx, should
be surgically treated without lacerating or extirpating the ovary in women of
reproductive age. Adnexectomy in cases of ectopic pregnancy is usually not
indicated and must be left as tubectomy in specific cases
