Abstract

Background

Large ovarian cysts in adolescents often present with low malignancy risk, prompting discussions about optimal surgical strategies. Minimally invasive methods aim to reduce complications, pain, hospitalization length, and scar appearance. As such, there is a desire to utilize less invasive approaches for the removal of large to giant masses. However, the advantages of minimally invasive surgery must be balanced with the risks of spillage, including malignant seeding and upstaging, chemical peritonitis, and recurrence. A few minimally invasive techniques have been proposed, including adherence of surgical gloves or bandages, controlled drainage with catheters, or use of the Alexis laparoscopic system. These techniques are poorly standardized and can fail to remain adherent during the case. We aim to describe a unique approach for the safe drainage of giant ovarian cysts.

Case

We present four adolescents with giant ovarian cysts (10-30 cm) and low pre-operative concern for malignancy, who proceeded to surgery for definitive treatment of the mass and associated symptoms. In all cases, a 4-6 cm midline infraumbilical incision was used. After obtaining adequate exposure of the mass, we adhered the rigid ring of a sterile 3 cm silo bag designed for ventral wall defects (Image 1) to a dried surface of the mass using sterile surgical glue. After ensuring the glue was dry, we trimmed off the closed distal end of the bag to allow access to the cyst surface. Through the constructed opening of the bag, the cyst was then entered sharply and contents were drained. In three cases, no spillage of contents was noted (Image 2) after multiple (1.9-5) liters were drained. In one case, there was minimal spillage noted due to malfunction of the suction device. In all but one case, the ovarian cortex was spared after cystectomy. In all cases, the bags remained firmly adherent to the ovarian cortex until the ovary and cyst could be exteriorized. There were no postoperative complications, and patients were discharged on postoperative days 0-2.

Comments

We introduce a safe, ovarian-sparing approach for extracorporeal drainage of giant adnexal cysts using a silo bag for spillage prevention through a mini-laparotomy incision. We believe this technique would be readily reproducible at many hospitals.

期刊介绍: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology includes all aspects of clinical and basic science research in pediatric and adolescent gynecology. The Journal draws on expertise from a variety of disciplines including pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, reproduction and gynecology, reproductive and pediatric endocrinology, genetics, and molecular biology. The Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology features original studies, review articles, book and literature reviews, letters to the editor, and communications in brief. It is an essential resource for the libraries of OB/GYN specialists, as well as pediatricians and primary care physicians.
