Perioperative outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site extracorporeal versus intracorporeal cystectomy for benign ovarian cysts: a retrospective cohort study based on propensity score matching.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ovarian cysts are the most common gynecological disease, and laparo-endoscopic single-site (LESS) cystectomy is a popular surgical procedure. A new laparoscopic technique combining the advantages of LESS surgery and open surgery has been introduced to treat large ovarian cysts. To our knowledge, no previous research has compared LESS-extracorporeal (LESS-E) cystectomy to LESS-intracorporeal (LESS-I) cystectomy. This study compared the perioperative results of LESS-E cystectomy and LESS-I cystectomy in the treatment of benign ovarian cysts.

Methods

Two hundred eighty-eight cases of cystectomy from our institutional database were retrospectively reviewed. 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to minimize bias due to any imbalanced baseline features betwe
