ABSTRACT:

Background

To compare the postoperative recurrence and fertility in patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) who underwent different surgical procedures: salpingo-oophorectomy versus cystectomy.

Methods

Potentially relevant literature from inception to Nov. 06, 2020, were retrieved in databases including Cochrane Library, EMBASE (Ovid), and MEDLINE (Pubmed). We applied the keywords "fertility-sparing surgery," or "conservative surgery," or "cystectomy," or "salpingo-oophorectomy," or "oophorectomy," or "adnexectomy," or "borderline ovarian tumor" for literate searching. Systemic reviews and meta-analyses were performed on the postoperative recurrence rates and pregnancy rates between patients receiving the two different surgical methods.
