Laparoscopic Fertility-Sparing Management of Borderline Ovarian Tumors: Surgical and Long-Term Oncological Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To assess the long-term oncological safety of laparoscopic fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) in borderline ovarian tumors and the impact of laparoscopic surgical factors on recurrences. Primary outcomes were the recurrence rate and time to recurrence after laparoscopic FSS. Secondary outcomes were to evaluate the recurrence rate after a second laparoscopic surgery and to assess factors associated with the risk of relapse. Methods: This is a retrospective single-center observational study in a tertiary university-affiliated hospital. Thirty-four patients diagnosed with borderline ovarian tumors who underwent laparoscopic FSS were recruited. Patients were categorized into two groups: the adnexectomy group, including patients who underwent unilateral adnexectomy, and t
