Abstract
Laparoscopic cystectomy for mature teratomas is associated with a high incidence of intraperitoneal spillage and tumor spread; however, extragonadal recurrence of this benign tumor is rare. We hereby present an additional case of extragonadal mature teratoma that recurred in the pouch of Douglas after ovarian cystectomy. A 43-year-old Japanese woman presented with atypical genital bleeding. A 7 cm mature teratoma was detected using transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. At 26 years old, she underwent bilateral cystectomy for bilateral mature teratoma of the ovary. During laparoscopic surgery, a cystic tumor appeared in the pouch of Douglas and was firmly adhered to the surrounding tissues. Both ovaries were normal. The resected tumor was diagnosed as extragonadal, benign, mature teratoma. To avoid the extragonadal recurrence of mature teratoma, removal of tumor contents from intraperitoneal spillage by lavage should be performed at the end of surgery.

Malignant Transformation of Unknown Duration of an Ovarian Mature Cystic Teratoma Presenting as a Trocar Recurrence in a Young Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review. Case Rep Obstet Gynecol 2023; 2023:8875092. [PMID: 38034416 PMCID: PMC10684326 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8875092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Although laparoscopic cystectomy is a safe and effective management strategy for ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT) in pediatric and adolescent patients, it has been challenged because of its association with a higher risk of intraoperative spillage leading to chemical peritonitis, adhesion formation, and iatrogenic implantation of malignant cells. Here, we report a rare case of a 23-year-old female patient with MCT tissue during laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy that remained in the peritoneum, possibly becoming malignant thereafter. Intraoperatively, the cyst's contents leaked into the abdominal cavity. The abdominal cavity was thoroughly cleaned before the operation was completed. Pathological examination revealed an MCT without malignant findings. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Although the excised tissue was benign, the patient presented with a mass at the trocar wound (upper suprapubic area) 2 years after initial surgery. Biopsy results indicated squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, peritoneal and bladder invasions were diagnosed. She subsequently experienced symptoms of cancerous peritonitis. Achieving a complete cure through surgery alone was deemed difficult; however, successful neoadjuvant chemotherapy and tumor reduction surgery kept her alive up until the publication of this case report, 3 years since diagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma. This case indicates that malignant transformation of MCTs can occur at any age.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of within-endobag cystectomy during and after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy in patients with dermoid cysts. We retrospectively analyzed 84 patients with ovarian dermoid cysts who underwent laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. In 30 patients, the affected ovary was placed in an endobag before cystectomy and cystectomy was performed within an endobag (within-endobag group), while the remaining 54 patients underwent standard cystectomy without this step (without-endobag group). After cystectomy, the cyst wall was placed in an endobag and was removed from the abdomen. Compared with the without-endobag group, the within-endobag group had a significantly lower rate of cyst content spillage (23.3% vs 72.2%, P < .001) and significantly shorter operation times when the cysts ruptured (23.4 ± 8.6 minutes vs 51.2 ± 28.6 minutes, P < .001). Whereas there was no significant difference in operation time in the absence of cyst rupture between 2 groups (21.2 ± 8.8 minutes vs 31.1 ± 17.4 minutes, P = .111). In patients with cyst rupture, according to the cyst size increase, the operation time was significantly prolonged without-endobag, whereas no significant prolongation was observed in within-endobag cystectomy. Except for operation time, there were no significant differences in cyst length, pain on the first day after surgery, hemoglobin loss, hospital stay, and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and white blood cell counts) in both ruptured and unruptured cases between the 2 groups. There were no postoperative complications in the within-endobag group, but 2 cases of perioperative complications occurred in the without-endobag group. No chemical peritonitis due to spillage of the cyst contents was observed in either group. Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy performed within-endobag can reduce both the spillage rate of cyst contents and operation time regardless of cyst size in patients with ruptured cysts. Therefore, this technique is a good surgical option for the laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy of large dermoid ovarian cysts.

Abstract
Ovarian dermoid cysts, also known as mature teratomas, are benign embryonal tumors with a slow growth rate. They are the consequence of ectodermal components becoming trapped along with their closure sites and account for the most common germinative ovarian tumor in reproductive-aged women. These patients may have a reduced risk of morbidity if they receive an accurate diagnosis and extensive follow-up care. These cysts are often evaluated using one of the following imaging techniques: computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, pelvic ultrasonography, or transvaginal ultrasound. Laparoscopy and laparotomy are the 2 surgical procedures typically used to remove persistent or exceptionally large cysts. Leakage of cyst contents during surgery is a common postoperative complication that can seldom, but occasionally, results in chemical peritonitis. We discuss a case of a significant dermoid cyst that developed in an older woman and was successfully removed via laparoscopic surgery. This instance is instructive for other physicians who may encounter a similar pathology.

Abstract
A dermoid cyst, also called a mature teratoma, is a benign tumor of the ovary derived from pluripotent germ cells. It is often asymptomatic; however, it can be expressed by several complications, including infection, adnexal torsion, and rupture. Rarely ovarian dermoid cysts can also transform into malignant degeneration. A ruptured teratoma is a rare and life-threatening complication and may arise spontaneously. However, cystic rupture is often secondary to surgical procedures such as ovarian cystectomy, leading to acute peritonitis and surgical emergency. Herein, we report a case of acute peritonitis in a female resulting from ovarian dermoid cyst spillage. Her clinical picture and radiological imaging were consistent with a ruptured ovarian cyst leading to chemical peritonitis, and a histopathological examination confirmed an ovarian dermoid cyst.

Abstract
AIM No widely agreed consensus protocols exist for the management of benign ovarian tumors (BOT) in children. This presents a substantial risk for suboptimal management. We aimed to generate multispecialty consensus guidance to standardize surgical management and provide a clear follow-up protocol for children with BOTs. METHODS Prospective two-round confidential e-Delphi consensus survey distributed among multispecialty expert panel; concluded by two semistructured videoconferences. MAIN RESULTS Consensus was generated on these core outcome sets: preoperative/intraoperative management; follow-up; adolescent gynecology referral. (1) Children with BOTs should receive the same management as other patients with potentially neoplastic lesions: Preoperative discussion at a pediatric oncology multidisciplinary meeting to risk stratify tumors, and management by health professionals with expertise in ovarian-sparing surgery and laparoscopy. (2) Ovarian-sparing surgery for BOTs should be performed wherever possible to maximize fertility preservation. (3) Ovarian masses detected during emergency laparoscopy/laparotomy should be left in situ wherever feasible and investigated appropriately (imaging/tumor markers) before resection. (4) Follow-up should be undertaken for all patients after BOT resection. Patients should be offered referral to adolescent gynecology to discuss fertility implications. CONCLUSION This best practice Delphi consensus statement emphasizes the importance of managing children with BOTs through a well-defined oncological MDT strategy, in order to optimize risk stratification and allow fertility preservation by ovarian-sparing surgery wherever possible.

Abstract
Almost all gynecological and general-surgical operations are - or can be - performed laparoscopically. In comparison to an abdominal approach, the minimally invasive access offers several advantages; however, laparoscopy (both conventional and robotic-assisted) can be associated with a number of approach-specific complications. Although the majority of them are related to the laparoscopic entry, adverse events may also occur due to the presence of pneumoperitoneum or the use of laparoscopic instruments. Unfortunately, a high proportion of complications (especially affecting the bowel and ureter) remain unrecognized during surgery. This narrative review provides comprehensive up-to-date information about definitions, classifications, risk factors and incidence of surgical complications in conventional and robotic-assisted laparoscopy, with a special focus on gynecology. The topic is discussed from various perspectives, e.g. in the context of stage of surgery, injured organs, involved instruments, and in relation to malpractice claims.

Wang X, Li Y. Comparison of perioperative outcomes of single-port laparoscopy, three-port laparoscopy and conventional laparotomy in removing giant ovarian cysts larger than 15 cm. BMC Surg 2021; 21:205. [PMID: 33882918 PMCID: PMC8061010 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-021-01205-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although conventional laparoscopy has gradually accepted as a surgical treatment for ovarian cancer, reducing the port numbers of laparoscopy still has great challenge for larger ovarian tumors. Thus, this study aims to explore the surgical outcomes of single-port laparoscopy for removing giant ovarian cysts (≥ 15 cm) and compare with laparotomy and three-port laparoscopy. Methods This study enrolled 95 patients with giant ovarian cysts (> 15 cm) who underwent single-port laparoscopy, three-port laparoscopy or laparotomy. Their medical records, perioperative surgical outcomes, and postoperative pain score and complications were analyzed and compared retrospectively. Results Single-port laparoscopy showed better perioperative outcomes and less postoperative pain than three-port laparoscopy and laparotomy. The time between post-surgery and getting out of bed in single-port laparoscopy was significant shorter than that in the laparotomy and three-port laparoscopy (17.53 ± 7.26 vs 29.40 ± 9.57 vs 24.56 ± 7.76, P < 0.01). The length of hospital stay in single-port laparoscopy was significantly shorter than that in other two groups (4.06 ± 0.5 vs 5.46 ± 1.63 vs 4.81 ± 0.83, P < 0.001). In addition, single-port laparoscopy had the lowest postoperative pain scores than in the laparotomy and three-port laparoscopy. There were no significant differences of total hospital cost, postoperative complications and time until gas passing among the three surgical groups. Importantly, in the removal of giant ovarian cysts, the proportion of cyst rupture in single-port laparoscopy was far lower than that in three-port laparoscopy (3.0 vs 22.2%). Conclusions For giant ovarian cysts, single-port laparoscopy is still a safe and efficient technique with the advantages of short operation time, less estimated blood loss, short hospital stay, lower spillage rate, and less postoperative pain.
