Laparoscopic surgery of large adnexal masses (>12 cm): Single port or conventional?

Laparoscopic surgery of large adnexal masses (>12 cm): Single port or conventional? Güngördük, Kemal; Gülseren, Varol; Özdemir, Isa Aykut Introduction We aimed to compare single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) and conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery (CMLS) for large adnexal mass (AM).Methods Patients undergoing laparoscopy (LS) due to huge AMs (>= 12 cm) between 2016 and 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. The SPLS procedure was applied in 25 cases, and CMLS was performed in 32 cases. The premier result was the grade of the postoperative improvement according to the Quality of Recovery (QoR)-40 questionnaire score (24 h after the surgical procedure; postoperative day 1). Observer Scar Assessment Scale (OSAS) and Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS) were also evaluated.Results A total of 57 cases undergoing SPLS (n = 25) or CMLS (n = 32) due to a large AM (>= 12 cm) were analyzed. No meaningful distinctions in age, menopausal status, body mass index, or mass size were observed between the two cohorts. The operation time was shorter in the SPLS than CPLS cohort (42.2 +/- 3.3 vs. 47.6 +/- 6.2; p < 0.001). Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed in 84.0% of cases in the SPLS cohort and 90.6% of patients in the CMLS cohort (p = 0.360). The QoR-40 points were significantly higher in the SPLS than the CMLS group (154.9 +/- 12.0 vs. 146.2 +/- 17.1; p = 0.035). The OSAS and PSAS scores were lower in the SPLS than the CMLS group.Conclusion LS can be used for large cysts that are not considered to be at risk of malignancy. The postoperative recovery time was shorter in patients undergoing SPLS compared to CMLS.
