title: Laparoscopic removal of dermoid cysts using endopouch.
abstract: Laparoscopic oophorectomy was successfully performed in 6 patients with ovarian dermoid cysts. The use of Endopouch eliminates the risk of spillage and the need to extend the wound. The duration of operation ranged from 60 to 90 minutes and all patients were discharged within 48 hours with minimal pain and no complications.
