title: [Laparoscopic treatment of the ovarian cysts].
abstract: Laparoscopy is widely used as a safety procedure in many clinical situations allowing diagnosis and/or surgical management in a minimally invasive fashion. Most laparoscopic cases allow patients to recover quickly. The conventional ultrasonography and endovaginal sonogram appear to be useful in the pre-operative selection for this surgery. Conventional pulsed Doppler (Duplex) and color Doppler sonography (CDS) have added a new dimension to pelvic ultrasonography. This study was undertaken to evaluate usefulness of operative laparoscopy in treatment of ovarian cysts. A retrospective study was carried on 35 operative laparoscopy cases performed between 1995 and 2000. Types of surgery performed were cystectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, oophorectomy and wedge resection. The mean operation time was in the range of 65 to 120 minutes, mean while the mean postoperative stay was of 3,8 days.
