Modified Leak-Proof Puncture Technique for the Aspiration of Giant Ovarian Cysts by Instantly Mounting a Plastic Wrap and Gauze with Cyanoacrylates: A Retrospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We developed a leak-proof puncture technique for giant ovarian cysts by instantly mounting a plastic wrap to the cysts using cyanoacrylates and aspirating cyst fluid over the wrap. Here, we modified it by inserting a gauze between the wrap and cyst to strengthen the mounting. This study aimed to clarify the feasibility of the modified procedure.

Method

A retrospective observational study was conducted in a single center. Surgical outcomes of 35 women who underwent the modified procedure from December 2013 to July 2020 were compared with those of 51 women who underwent the original procedure.

Results

Mean long-axis diameters of the cysts were 233.1 mm and 229.8 mm in the modified and original procedures, respectively. The median of surgical time, blood loss,
