Design: Video
Setting: Academic teaching hospital operating room
Patients or Participants: 38yo female who presented with pelvic pain and diagnosed with 15cm right ovarian dermoid cyst.
Interventions: Diagnostic laparoscopy, laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy
Measurements and Main Results: Successful removal of the large dermoid cyst with laparoscopic management of partial cyst wall rupture to minimize intraabdominal spillage of the cyst contents.
Conclusion: In this video, we review the basic laparoscopic techniques for cystectomy of a large ovarian cyst. We also demonstrate the use of an endoscopic loop tie to minimize cyst spillage when rupture of the cyst wall occurs.
