Laparoscopic single site versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for benign ovarian masses

Abstract

Aim: To explore the clinical application of laparoendosopic single-site surgery (LESS) in the treatment of benign ovarian masses of different sizes. Methods: We reviewed 117 patients with benign ovarian mass. 57 underwent LESS with self-made approach, and 60 underwent conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS). Results: For the group with the maximum diameter of mass 0.05). Conclusion: LESS is feasible in the surgery of benign ovarian mass. Especially, it can fully demonstrate the advantages of LESS in large benign ovarian mass (maximum diameter of ≥10 cm).
