[Value of endoscopic ovarian surgery--critical analysis of 626 pelviscopically operated ovarian cysts at the Kiel University Gynecologic Clinic 1990-1991].
During 1990-1991, 626 cystic ovarian tumours measuring > 3 cm diameter were treated endoscopically at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Kiel. In 97 patients, either ovariectomy or adnexectomy, and in 529 cases, an ovarian cyst enucleation was performed. In every case, we considered clinical laboratory, pre-examinations as well as a vaginal ultrasound examination to be of extreme importance for our decision. In 1990, we changed 18 times from pelviscopy to laparotomy and in 1991 7 times under the visual impression of an ovarian malignant tumour. The diagnosis was verified 8 times in 1990 and 3 times in 1991. 10 times in 1990 and 4 times in 1991, the patients were laparotomised with benign ovarian tumours, whose form and motility did not indicate laparotomy at the beginning. No case of ovarian cancer was endoscopically biopsied in 1990-1991. Details on the treatment of patients, their brief hospitalisation period and quick reintegration into family and professional life speak for the applied operation technique.
