title: [Laparoscopic removal of dermoid cysts].
abstract: Benign dermoid cysts between 1.5 and 6 cm in diameter were laparoscopically removed in 9 premenopausal women. Cystectomy was performed in eight patients, and unilateral oophorectomy in one. Surgical and postoperative complications were not observed. Chemical peritonitis due to the dermoid contents can be avoided, provided, careful lavage of the peritoneal cavity is performed.
