Single-port laparoscopy versus conventional laparoscopy of benign adnexal masses during pregnancy: a retrospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare operative outcomes between single-port laparoscopy (SPL) and conventional laparoscopy (CL) to remove adnexal masses during pregnancy.

Methods

This retrospective case-control study included all patients who had undergone laparoscopic removal of benign adnexal masses during pregnancy between October 2010 and January 2020. Multiple clinical characteristics and operative outcomes were retrospectively analysed and compared between patients who had undergone SPL versus CL, including cosmetic satisfaction with the scar, measured on a 10-point scale (10 indicating very satisfied).

Results

A total of 64 patients were included (SPL, n = 22; and CL, n = 42). Overall scar satisfaction scores significantly favoured SPL versus CL (9.1 ± 1.7 versus
