[Treatment of adnexal tumors with laparoscopy].
Ginecología y Obstetricia de México 1997 April
This article shows the experience in 61 patients with adnexal tumors studied from June 1988 to June 1994; the origin of the patients in private and semiprivate, to whom we practiced a diagnostic and operative laparoscopy (56/61) at the same time. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined by clinical history (past history, age, symptoms, size, etc.), vaginal ultrasonography scan (ascites, papillas, cyst's content, etc.), laboratory tests (Ca 125 in postmenopausal patients), the macroscopic assessment during the diagnostic laparoscopy, transoperative biopsy (19/61) was made in order to confirm the benign findings seen before laparoscopy; and the results were accordingly on the 61 cases. The cause of consult was infertility in 24/61; 18/61 were primary infertility; 6/61 were secondary infertility. We did 22 cystectomies and 2 oophorectomies; 10 of them became pregnant. 37 from 61 had pain, nine of this group we did an oophorectomy (2 by torsion, 3 had hemorrhagic cysts that were ruptured and 4 were residual ovary), the rest 28 we performed cystectomy with frank improvement of their symptoms. The postoperative diagnosis of the tumors were: luteomas 13/61; functional cysts 17/61, Hemorrhagic cysts 8/61; endometriomas 9/61; serous cystoadenoma 3/61; mucinous cystoadenoma 1/61; ovaric fibroma 1/61; mature cystic teratoma 2/61; residual ovaries 4/61; paraovaric cysts 2/61 and Morgagni's hydatide 1/61. It is concluded that if one follows all the correct parameters for the evaluation of adnexal tumors, the endoscopic procedure could be safe with the benefits of the laparoscopic procedure.
