Abstract

Large ovarian cysts are conventionally treated by laparotomy. We describe a technique of transabdominal drainage under ultrasonographic control followed by laparoscopic excision of an ovarian cyst that was 24 x 10 x 20 cm. This approach has the benefits of minimal-access surgery and is suitable for unilocular benign cysts of any size.
