Background: Large ovarian cysts are conventionally managed by laparotomy. This study was undertaken to assess the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic surgery for the management of large ovarian cysts.Methods: Thirty-eight patients from January 2014 to December 2016, presumed to be large ovarian cyst were managed laparoscopically. Preliminary evaluation suggestive to be of benign ovarian cyst by history, clinical examination, sonographic imaging and basic serum marker were only included in this study. The cysts were aspirated initially followed by cystectomy, oophorectomy or total hysterectomy depending on age, parity, coexisting pathology and desire for future fertility.Results: Out of 38 cases, 6 were non-ovarian adnexal masses. 8 out of rest 32 cases presented with pain due to torsion were managed on emergency basis, rest of the cases were operated electively. Mean operating time was 90 minutes. Mean size of the cyst was 16 cms. One cases of borderline malignancy were detected and the rest showed benign pathology. Three of the cases required mini Laprotomy for specimen removal. Most of women were successfully treated laparoscopically without any complications and conversion to laparotomy was required in 3 cases.Conclusions: With proper patient selection and exclusion of malignancy, laparoscopic management of large ovarian cyst by general gynecologist is feasible.

ABSTRACT Introduction Large ovarian cysts are conventionally managed by laparotomy. This study was undertaken to assess the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic surgery for the management of large ovarian cysts. Settings and design Rural teaching hospital – prospective study. Materials and methods Thirty-eight patients from January 2014 to December 2016 presumed to be with large ovarian cyst were managed laparoscopically. Preliminary evaluation suggestive to be of benign ovarian cyst by history, clinical examination, sonographic imaging, and basic serum marker were only included in this study. The cysts were aspirated initially, followed by cystectomy, oophorectomy, or total hysterectomy depending on age, parity, coexisting pathology, and desire for future fertility. Results Out of 38 cases, 6 were nonovarian adnexal masses. Eight of the 32 cases who presented with pain due to torsion were managed on emergency basis; rest of the cases were operated electively. Mean operating time was 90 minutes. Mean size of the cyst was 16 cm. One case of borderline malignancy was detected and the rest showed benign pathology. Six of the cases required minilaparotomy for specimen removal. Most women were successfully treated laparoscopically without any complications, and conversion to laparotomy was required in three cases. Conclusion With proper patient selection and exclusion of malignancy, laparoscopic management of large ovarian cyst by gynecologist is feasible.

We report a successful case of laparo-endoscopic single site total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (LESS THBSO) using conventional laparoscopic instruments for a large ovarian cyst in a morbidly obese woman. A 58-year-old female with a BMI of 46kg/m2 complaint of abdominal distension. A pelvic ultrasound revealed a left ovarian cyst measuring 21.3 x 15.2 x 20.8 cm. The IOTA score is 3.5% and the RMI score was 51, suggesting a benign pathology. LESS THBSO was performed and the final histology was a benign ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. The patient recovered well with no postoperative complications. This case demonstrates that LESS is feasible for large ovarian cysts even in morbidly obese patients when appropriate cases are selected and when the patient is managed in a multi-disciplinary team.

Summary A 21-year-old female patient recently diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism was found to have a large ovarian cyst. In view of the large ovarian cyst, she was advised to undergo elective laparotomy in the gynaecology department. She was further evaluated in our medical out-patient department (OPD), and elective surgery was withheld. She was started on thyroxine replacement therapy, and within a period of 4 months, the size of the cyst regressed significantly, thereby improving the condition of the patient significantly. This case report highlights the rare and often missed association between hypothyroidism and ovarian cysts. Although very rare, profound hypothyroidism that can cause ovarian cysts in an adult should always be kept in the differential diagnosis to avoid unnecessary ovarian surgery. Learning points Hypothyroidism should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adult females presenting with multicystic ovarian tumours. Adequate thyroid hormone replacement therapy can prevent these patients from undergoing unnecessary and catastrophic ovarian resection. Surgical excision should be considered only when adequate thyroid replacement therapy fails to resolve ovarian enlargement. In younger women with ovarian cysts, it is also desirable to avoid unnecessary surgery so as to not compromise fertility in the future.

Ovarian cysts, also known as ovarian masses or adnexal masses are fluid filled sacs or pockets in an ovary or on its surface. These are found incidentally in asymptomatic women. Ovarian cysts are considered large in size when they are over 5 cm and giant when they are over 15 cm. Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical problem encountered during pregnancy. Pregnancy is associated with various anatomic and physiologic changes that may disguise and delay the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Antibiotic treatment does not always improve the outcome and emergency intervention is required. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention is mandatory for the eventful outcome of pregnancy. Here we present a case of a primigravida patient with a large ovarian cyst mimicking acute appendicitis.

Objective: To analyze diagnostic and surgical outcomes in patients with extremely large ovarian cysts treated by laparoscopic surgery. Methods: A total of 120 cases of large adnexal masses and suspected for malignancy were treated laparoscopically at the at general surgery department of Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences. Under endotracheal anesthesia, all surgeries were performed using nasogastric tubes in the stomach. An incision of approximately 1.5 centimeter was made at the supraumbilical or umbilical region and peritoneal cavity was approached. The intra-abdominal approach in all cases was cautiously standardized. The resection of the adnexal mass was performed as per routine method. Results: 12 females were premenopausal and 8 were postmenopausal. 12 women presented with the signs of urinary retention, urinary urgency and abdominal pain. Incidental sonography detected cysts in 8 patients which were asymptomatic. The average volume of the resected cystic fluid was 3000ml (range 900 to 9000 ml). The specimens of frozen section were obtained within the surgical procedure in all patients except 2 patients having para-ovarian cysts. The histopathology presented mucinous benign cystadenoma. There was no blood loss and related other complications reported in all operations. Conclusion: Laparoscopic management of large ovarian cyst observed to a effective, feasible and less complicated surgical option. However accurate selection and diagnosis of the patients, the any ovarian cyst size can be treated easily via laparoscopic surgery.

Benign ovarian cysts are fairly common. However, some of them may attain a large size and may prove to be malignant also. Here we report a case of 48 years old female presenting with chronic constipation due to a large ovarian cyst which was misdiagnosed on CT as mesenteric cyst. This case is being reported because of its large size, unusual presentation and missed diagnosis.

Background: The definition of huge ovarian cysts is not well described in the literature. Some authors define large ovarian cysts as those that are more than 10 cm in diameter as measured by preoperative scans. An ovarian cyst is a common gynecological problem and is divided into two main categories; physiological and pathological. Aims and objectives of this study was to find out various presentations of large ovarian tumour.Methods: It was a prospective interventional study done for a period of two year from March 2015 to March 2017 in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as in Department of General Surgery. During the study period a total of 30 study participants were enrolled.Results: Majority of the study participants were in the age group of 18-28 years (66.66%) and 33.33% were in the age group of 28-38 years. Near about 33.33% were uncomplicated. Near about 33.33% presented with tortion, 7% with rupture of cyst, infection was seen in 13.33%. About 13.33% were malignant cyst.Conclusions: Large ovarian cysts are a clinical challenge for Gynaecologists. Quite a good number of these cases can end up with complications and hence, all of them have to be subjected to surgery.
