Abstract
We compared the efficacy of two dissection methods of ovarian dermoid laparoscopic cystectomy in 41 women (age 17–38 yrs) who desired future fertility. Blunt dissection and scissors were used in 21 patients (group A), and aquadissection in 20 (group B). The mean size of the cysts was comparable in both groups. The mean operating time for aquadissection was 59.3 minutes compared with 78.4 minutes for blunt dissection and scissors (p<0.05). Intraoperative spillage was significantly less common with aquadissection because with this method it is easier to avoid cyst rupture. No complication occurred with either method. Hospital stay was similar in both groups. Operative laparoscopy is a safe and effective method in the management of ovarian dermoid cysts.
