BackgroundOvarian cysts are very common diseases of the female reproductive system. Giant ovarian cysts refer to the tumors with diameters greater than 10 cm. In recent years, due to the development of clinical diagnosis, imaging modalities, and the improvement of patients’ cognition of the diseases, the occurrence of giant ovarian cysts has become rare. The purpose of this study was to show a new operation method of single-port laparoscopy to treat giant ovarian cysts.MethodsWe report a case series of five patients with giant ovarian cysts who underwent single-port laparoscopic surgery in the gynecology department of the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between June 2020 and March 2021. The inclusion criteria were ovarian cysts at least 20 cm in diameter, and cases when the tumor might be malignant were excluded.ResultsThe patients’ mean age was 26.2years. The most common clinical presentation was progressive abdominal distension. Median size of the cysts at imaging was 39.2 cm (range 21–63 cm). All patients underwent single-port laparoscopic surgery, and none of them converted to laparotomy. On final pathological reports, two cysts were serous cystadenomas, and three were mucinous cystadenomas. All patients recovered well and were discharged on time.ConclusionGiant ovarian cysts can be treated by single-port laparoscopic surgery. In addition to the well-known advantages of laparoscopic surgery (e.g., small pelvic interference, fast postoperative recovery), it can also play the role of perfect cosmetic results, which has more advantages for young women.

Abstract Background: Ovarian cysts are very common diseases of female reproductive system. Giant ovarian cysts refer to the tumors with diameters greater than 10 cm. In recent years, due to the development of clinical diagnosis, imaging modalities and the improvement of patients' cognition of the diseases, the occurrence of giant ovarian cysts become rare. The purpose of this study was to show a new operation method of single-port laparoscopy to treat giant ovarian cysts. Methods: We report a case series of 5 patients with giant ovarian cysts who underwent single-port laparoscopic surgery in gynecology department, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between June 2020 and March 2021. The inclusion criteria were ovarian cysts at least 20 cm in diameters, and cases which the tumor might be malignant were excluded. Results: The patients' mean age was 26.2years. The most common clinical presentation was progressive abdominal distension. Median size of the cysts at imaging was 39.2 cm (range 21–63 cm). All patients underwent single-port laparoscopic surgery, and none of them converted to laparotomy. On final pathological reports, two cysts were serous cystadenomas, and three were mucinous cystadenomas. All patients recovered well and discharged on time. Conclusion: Giant ovarian cysts can be treated by single-port laparoscopic surgery. In addition to the well-known advantages of laparoscopic surgery (e.g., small pelvic interference, fast postoperative recovery), it can also play the role of perfect cosmetic results, which has more advantages for young women.

Objective: to describe the initial experience of a gynecology team, at a tertiary care center, when performing single-port laparoscopic surgery. Methods: this is a retrospective study reviewing the medical records of 50 patients treated at the outpatient gynecology clinic of our institution between June 2012 and July 2013 who underwent single-port laparoscopic surgery. This study was approved by the institution’s Ethics in Research Committee. Results: the mean age of patients is 37.8 years, ranging from 18 to 70 years, and the most frequent surgical indications were adnexal mass (72%) and chronic pelvic pain (24%). The mean operative time was 94.4 minutes with a mean hospital stay of 25.8 hours. There were no perioperative complications. We recorded two conversions to laparotomy due to technical difficulties during the procedure. All cases of conversion had pelvic adhesions. All operative complications were successfully treated and none were considered severe. Conclusion: this is one of the largest case series in the literature regarding surgical treatment by single-port laparoscopy in gynecology and presents evidence on reduction of surgical morbidity and satisfactory cosmetic results. We conclude that single-port laparoscopy is a viable minimally invasive technique, and that it contributes to the construction of a new scenario in modern gynecological surgery.

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.

Background: Laparoscopy has become an accepted method of management of ovarian cysts. Objective of present study was to assess the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic surgery for the management of large ovarian cysts.Methods: Ten patients from May 2014 to April 2015, with large ovarian cysts, with diameter >10 cm, were managed laparoscopically. All the masses were cystic and were not associated with ascites or enlarged lymph nodes on ultrasound. Serum CA 125 levels were within the normal range (0-35 U/mL). Preoperative evaluation included history, clinical examination, sonographic images and serum markers. The management of these ovarian cysts included aspiration, cystectomy or salphingo-oophorectomy, depending on the patient's age, obstetric history and desire of future fertility.Results: Seven patients presented with pain abdomen, 3 patients with abdominal distension and discomfort. The average maximum diameter of the ovarian cysts was 14.75 cm (range, 10-22 cm). The mean duration of the operation was 80 minutes (60 -120 min). The postoperative hospital stay was 2 days. No intraoperative complications occurred, and the hospital course of all patients was uncomplicated. The patients did not report any complaints during follow-up and the clinical examination findings were normal in all, up to 9 months after discharge.Conclusions: With proper patient selection, the size of an ovarian cyst is not necessarily a contraindication for laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract BackgroundsTo study the safety, feasibility and aesthetics of transumbilical single port laparoscopic technology combined with accelerated rehabilitation surgery in stage I endometrial cancer staging surgery, and whether the laparoscopic surgery is a factor affecting the prognosis of endometrial cancer. MethodsA total of 93 patients with type I endometrial cancer stage I were enrolled in this study, including 31 cases and 62 cases in the single port and multi-port laparoscopic groups, respectively. Both groups received ERAS technology to compare the intraoperative and postoperative conditions. Subsequently, the medical records of 62 patients who had undergone open surgery were collected, and the survival, recurrence and death of the single port laparoscopic group, the multi-port laparoscopic group and the open surgery group were compared through survival analysis. ResultsThe time of surgery, intraoperative blood loss and fluid infusion volume in the single port group and the multi-port group were significantly less than those of the multi-port group (P<0.05). The single-hole group was better than the open group in terms of rapid postoperative recovery, hospitalization days, incision abdominal incision cometic effect, physical function, physical pain, vitality, and mental health (P<0.05). And there is no significant differences of mortality and recurrence among single port, multi-port and open surgery (P>0.05). Laparoscopic surgery is not a risk factor affecting OS and DFS in patients with endometrial cancer. ConclusionsTransumbilical single port laparoscopy combined with ERAS was safe and feasible for the treatment of stage I endometrial cancer with good cosmetic results and more advantages than multi-port laparoscopy.

Background Single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) was increasingly used on several surgical diseases. The aim of this study is evaluation of the results of the suture of the perforation by SPLS for the perforated duodenal ulcer treatement. Methods From January 2012 to July 2014, 35 patients with perforated duodenal ulcers underwent simple suture of the perforations by SPLS at Hue University Hospital and Hue Central Hospital. Results The mean age was 45.9 ± 14.4 years. The sex ratio (male/female) was 16.5 and the mean of BMI was 19.2 ± 2.3. There was one patient (2.9%) with previous history of laparoscopic repair of perforated duodenal ulcer. The duration of the symptoms was 9.9 ± 12.3 hours. 97.1% of patients had the perforations of the anterior wall of the duodenum. The mean size of the perforation was 4.7 ± 3.4 mm (2 – 22mm). 2.9% of patients had the perforations of the posterior wall of the duodenum. The rate of the conversion to the open surgery was 2.9%. The mean operative time was 75.8 ± 33.7min, and the mean hospital stay was 5.8 ± 1.4 days. The mean of the analgesic requirement time was 2.9 ± 0.8 days. The wound length was 1.9 ± 0.1 cm. There was 5.9% of the patients had wound infection. There was no operation-related mortality. Conclusions Simple suture of the perforation by single-port laparoscopic surgery is a feasible and safe procedure, and it may be a scarless surgical technique for perforated duodenal ulcers treatement. Key words: single-port laparoscopic surgery, perforated duodenal ulcer

Background: Single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) is increasingly used in surgery and in the treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer. The aim of this study was to evaluate technical factors for perforated duodenal ulcer repair by SPLS. Methods: A prospective study on 42 consecutive patients diagnosed with perforated duodenal ulcer and treated with SPLS at Hue university of medicine and pharmacy hospital and Hue central hospital from January 2012 to February 2015. Results: The mean age was 48.1 ± 14.2 (17 - 79) years. 40 patients were treated with suture of the perforation by pure SPLS. There was one case (2.4%) in which one additional trocar was required. Conversion to open surgery was necessary in one patient (2.4%) in which the perforation was situated on the posterior duodenal wall. Two patients (4.8%) with history of abdominal surgery were successfully treated by pure SPLS. The size of perforation was correlated with suturing time (correlation coefficient r = 0.459) and operative time (correlation coefficient r = 0.528). Considering suture type, X stitches were used in 95.5% cases, simple stitches were used in one case (2.4%) while Graham patch repair technique was utilized in one case (2.4%) with large perforation. Most cases (95.1%) required only simple suture without omental patch. Peritoneal drainage was spared in most cases (90.2%). Conclusions: SPLS is a safe method for the treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer. Posterior duodenal location is the main cause of conversion to open surgery. Factor related to operative time is perforation size. Key words: perforated duodenal ulcer, single port laparoscopic repair, single port laparoscopy
