[Needle aspiration of ovarian cysts. Our experience].
80 patients underwent ultrasound guided cyst puncture of ovarian cysts. Six patients were pregnant and in four of them needle aspiration was executed through the transvaginal tract. The sediment aspirated was examined by a cytologic method and when possible it was also correlated to a histological test. Technique and results have been dealt with. No relevant complication was found. Finally, the echoguided (induced) needle aspiration is a simple and safe method to treat benign ovarian cysts in fertile women. It is particularly advisable in pregnancy and in patients for whom both laparascopy and traditional surgery are not practicable.
