Abstract

Highlights

The wall of the cyst showed normal enhancement in post-contrast exam. She was counseled about the need for surgical removal of these lesions being mandatory and should be as minimally invasive as possible, which is the aim of this GYN department. She accepted the risk of laparotomy in the event of technical challenges in minimally invasive surgery .It was planned to decompress the lesion through a 2-3 cm supraumbilical incision
The same would be used for inserting a 12mm camera the port there, with the entry of 3 more 8mm ports in the lower abdomen, followed by robotic oophorectomy if the mass could be removed with help of Da Vinci Robot
