Laparoscopic management of a 20-cm ovarian cyst in a patient with a BMI of 70: a case report
Tóm tắt
A woman in her mid-40s with a body mass index (BMI) of 70 presented with lower abdominal pain of 24-h duration. The trans-abdominal scan revealed a large cystic ovarian mass. Laparoscopic salpingo-oophrectomy was performed by placing six ports in the upper abdomen; initial Verres needle entry and pneumoperitoneum were established through the left upper quadrant. A low CA-125 and the benign appearance of the ovary allowed the operation to continue laparoscopically with fewer perioperative complications. The histology of the specimen demonstrated a benign epithelial serous cystadenoma of the ovary with torsion.
