title: Laparoscopic management of adnexal masses.
abstract: With the continued expansion of endoscopic techniques and instruments, laparoscopy and minimally invasive techniques are quickly emerging as a feasible alternative to laparotomy in managing adnexal masses and ovarian cancer.Laparoscopy has the potential to completely and successfully treat both benign and malignant adnexal pathology while decreasing unnecessary morbidity among patients. Further advances in technology, techniques, and instruments can only increase this potential.
