title: Correlation between Ultrasonographic Findings and Laparoscopic Appearance in Patients with Laparoscopically Treated Ovarian Cysts
abstract: We performed laparoscopy in 96 women (64 age <40 yrs, 22 > 40 yrs) with a diagnosis of ovarian cyst. The size and morphology of each mass were established, and color flow Doppler characteristics were determined by ultrasonography. Laparoscopically we evaluated the external and internal surfaces and vascularization. The laparoscopic appearance confirmed the ultrasonographic findings in 85% of women.
