Abstract
BackgroundThe authors used the lipid index (WL) to monitor lipid changes before and after surgery. The surgical operation performed was the simultaneous enucleation of a cystic tumor of the hilum ovarii in its entirety (with diagnosis of a simple cyst or teratoma adultum) in groups of 20 patients.ObjectivesTo compare the lipid index WL in the blood serum of patients undergoing surgery treatment at the following times: before and 7 days after surgery, and 6 and 12 months after surgery.Material and methodsThe research material was the blood serum of women aged about 24 years. The authors divided the patients into 3 groups: two groups of 20 women and a control group. The concentrations of the lipid parameters were measured and the lipid index WL was calculated.ResultsStatistically significant differences were found between the lipid index of serum from patients with diagnosed ovarian neoplasms and the index of serum from healthy subjects; differences were demonstrated in the postoperative period, particularly 6 and 12 months after surgery.ConclusionsThe lipid index WL proved useful in diagnosing ovarian neoplasm (simple cysts and teratoma adultum) and in monitoring the postoperative period.
Highlights
The authors used the lipid index (WL) to monitor lipid changes before and after surgery
The index is calculated using the concentrations of High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) lipoprotein, apolipoprotein A1 and B, and triglycerides (TG) [1,2]
Previous studies using the lipid index WL have shown its usefulness in monitoring hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women
Summary
The authors used the lipid index (WL) to monitor lipid changes before and after surgery. The index is calculated using the concentrations of HDL and LDL lipoprotein, apolipoprotein A1 and B, and triglycerides (TG) [1,2] The usefulness of this marker has been demonstrated in monitoring changes in lipid metabolism in perimenopausal women undergoing gynecological surgery, as well as in the assessment of hormone replacement therapy [3,4,5]. Based on these results, it was decided that the objective of the present study would be to determine the diagnostic role of this indicator in the blood serum of women undergoing surgery due to neoplastic hyperplasia within the ovary and parovarian mesonephritic structures. These procedures were performed due to a diagnosis of teratoma: adultum teratoma [6,7,8] or a simple cyst [9,10,11].
