Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery in Ovarian Cystectomy: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: To systematically compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) versus conventional multi-port laparoscopic surgery (CLS) for ovarian cystectomy in women with benign ovarian cysts, focusing on operative outcomes, postoperative pain, and recovery parameters. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and SCOPUS from inception to 1 June 2024. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies directly comparing LESS with CLS for benign ovarian cystectomy (excluding adnexectomy) were included. Primary outcomes were operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, postoperative pain, and complications. Data were pooled using mean differences (MD) or risk
