Surgical technique for single-port laparoscopy in huge ovarian tumors: SW Kim's technique and comparison to laparotomy

Abstract: ObjectiveThis study aimed to introduce a method to remove huge ovarian tumors (≥15 cm) intact with single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) using SW Kim's technique and to compare the surgical outcomes with those of laparotomy.MethodsMedical records were retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent either SPLS (n=21) with SW Kim's technique using a specially designed 30×30-cm2-sized 3XL LapBag or laparotomy (n=22) for a huge ovarian tumor from December 2008 to May 2016. Perioperative surgical outcomes we… Show more

“…Thus, most surgeons usually prefer laparotomy for large ovarian tumors. Nevertheless, there have been several attempts to perform minimally invasive surgeries even with large ovarian tumors, and we previously reported a technique for removing large ovarian tumors without aspiration or rupture in single-port laparoscopic surgery [ 15 ]. By using a large endoscopic bag, such as a 30×30 cm or 50×50 cm endoscopic tissue retrieval bag, huge ovarian tumors could be removed without any tumor spillage or cystic fluid aspiration.…”

“…2B and C ). In the case of large tumors (longest diameter ≥15 cm), SW Kim’s technique was used to insert the tumors in a retrieval bag [ 15 ], the bag was retracted through the umbilicus, and the tumor was removed by aspirating and cutting it inside the bag. After hemostasis and irrigation, the Alexis wound retractor was removed and the umbilical fascia and subcutaneous layer were approximated with 1–0 and 2–0 Vicryl sutures (Ethicon, Piscataway, NJ, USA) [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…Huge ovarian tumors are conventionally treated by elective laparotomies but now a days laparoscopic treatment are becoming gold standard for them. [9][10][11] Case Report: A 19-year-old unmarried female was referred to our Surgical Outpatient Department from the Gynecology and Obstetrics Outpatient Department for opinion.She had a history of gradually increasing abdominal swelling since 6 months. As the size of the swelling increased, the patient developed vague abdominal pain of dull aching character, more so in the left lower abdomen.…”

“…After the suction of the fluid contents, the cyst is pulled out through the umbilicus, and the extracorporeal cystectomy is then performed, followed by an inspection of the whole peritoneal cavity and careful irrigation (20)(21)(22). The feasibility and safety of such LESS surgery for the treatment of very large ovarian cysts has been proved (22)(23)(24)(25). LESSextracorporeal (LESS-E) cystectomy has several advantages, including the ease of switching between extracorporeal and intracorporeal approaches, the low relative risk of spillage, and excellent cosmetic results (22).…”
