Infertility: CASE REPORT: Acute abdomen following dermoid cyst rupture during transvaginal ultrasonographically guided retrieval of oocytes

Abstract: We report a case of acute abdomen due to puncture of a dermoid cyst during oocyte aspiration, which required laparotomy. A woman who had undergone an in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer required hospitalization due to onset of an acute abdomen. An ultrasonographic scan showed a pelvic mass with the features of dermoid cyst. The patient required diagnostic laparotomy which confirmed the presence of a ruptured dermoid cyst with subsequent peritonitis.

“…Plusieurs cas de péritonites chimiques ont été rapportés dans la littérature [2,4,8,12,[14][15][16][17][18][19]. Dans la majorité des cas, il s'agit d'extravasation iatrogénique du kyste, soit par ponction, soit par rupture percoelioscopique.…”

“…C'est pourquoi, l'extraction de la composante solide implique parfois une minilaparotomie [5]. Pour réduire le risque de péritonite chimique, certains auteurs proposent en cas de kystectomie intrapéritonéale, le recours à la technique d'ensachage (extraction de la pièce dans un sac par un orifice de trocart) [2,5,17]. Cette technique permet de réduire le risque de rupture intrapéritonéale, le temps opéra-toire, les complications postopératoires et le risque de métastases sur le trajet du trocart.…”

“…Failure to adequately irrigate the pelvis following spillage has been shown to lead to severe granulomatous peritonitis post-operatively [11]. This manifests at subsequent laparotomy as diffuse purulent peritonitis with scattered yellow sebaceous fragments [11,12].…”

“…Severe pelvic adhesions and pelvic endometriosis can also cause difficulties during pelvic surgery and increase the risk of complications. [4][5][6] Many operations can be performed as day surgery procedures, with patients being discharged home a few hours after operation. In order to ensure optimal use of day surgery facilities, it is important to make sure that the risk of converting a laparoscopic procedure to a laparotomy is minimal.…”
