title: A new laparoscopic aspiration technique for ovarian dermoid cysts.
abstract: A new method for aspirating benign dermoid cysts enables removal of the collapsed cyst wall without the need for extending laparoscopic incisions or opening the pouch of Douglas. The technique has been used by one of the authors in 10 patients with good effect and minimal or no spillage of dermoid cyst contents into the peritoneal cavity.
