Abstract
:
Mature cystic teratomas also termed dermoid cysts, are the most common benign ovarian tumors. They account for up to 58% of benign and 44% of all ovarian tumors (1). Most (80%) occur during reproductive years and only 15% after menopause. They are bilateral in up to 15% and they grow slowly. In premenopausal women growth rate of 1.8 cm/year was documented (2). Traditional treatment options include laparoscopy Corresponding Author: Professor Abdulrahim Rouzi, PO Box 80215, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia and laparatomy. Advantages to remove dermoid cysts laparoscopically include small incisions, less post-operative pain, short hospital stay, earlier recovery and improved quality of life in the post-operative period. Laparoscopy is usually done for small cysts because of the technical difficulties to remove large dermoid cysts and fear of peritonitis with rupture. However, there are few reports in the literature of laparoscopy for large ovarian dermoid cysts. The objective of this retrospective study is to assess the effectiveness of operative laparoscopy for treatment of large ovarian dermoid cyst.
