The diagnosis and the treatment of twisted ovarian tumors are still challenging, especially in adolescent girls. We describe an girl with a cyst, whom emergent laparoscopic surgery was successful. She visited us due to severe abdominal pain. Ultrasound revealed large cystic mass, indicative cyst. Laparoscopy left cyst on its axis. punctured detorsed it. lessons learned here are: sudden-onset pa...

A previously healthy 4-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department complaining of sudden-onset rightlower-quadrant abdominal pain that awoke her from sleep. The pain was constant, non-radiating and severe. She denied trauma, dysuria, hematuria, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation or hematochezia. Her vitals were HR: 92, RR: 16, BP: 116/76 and T: 37.0 °C. Physical exam revealed te...

Patients with acute abdominal pain often end up in the emergency department for surgical treatment. Ovarian cysts can lead to an abdomen due torsion (twisting) or rupture. In this case report we are going present a 70 y/o female patient left adnexal torsion, presence of ovarian cyst, presented as abdomen. The was enrolled abdomen, nausea and vomiting. After initial evaluation including Computer...

Endometrioma is one of the most frequent pathologies in gynecologic surgery. Laparoscopic cyst excision is considered the best treatment in terms of lower recurrence and improved fertility. However, it was recently questioned whether the excision of the endometrioma could decrease the function of the operated ovary and if it could affect the subsequent fertility. Even if a consistent amount of ...

A laparoscopic approach to giant ovarian cysts in girls, when the cyst's size exceeds the umbilicus, may be difficult regarding the risk of cyst rupture and limited working space. We present a series of three 12-year-old girls with giant ovarian cysts treated by percutaneous drainage under ultrasonographic guidance followed by laparoscopic resection. Clinical, laboratory and radiological diagno...

BACKGROUND Residual ovarian function after laparoscopic excision of endometriotic ovarian cysts is a major and still unsolved topic. Ultrasonographic evaluation of ovarian response to ovulation stimulation represents a simple yet poorly employed tool to assess residual ovarian function after surgery. METHODS Data from patients referred for IVF or ICSI between January 2001 and December 2002 we...

currently, laparoscopic cystectomy is the first-line therapy for ovarian benign cysts that are resistant to current therapies. there are different studies that point to ovarian reserve damage due to laparoscopic cystectomy. in this study, we evaluate the ovarian damage following laparoscopic cystectomy for non-endometriosis cysts using ultrasound and pathology findings. this is a prospective co...

Cystic ovarian follicles (COF) are an important ovarian dysfunction and a major cause of reproductive failure in dairy cattle. Due to the complexity of the disorder and the heterogeneity of the clinical signs, a clear definition is lacking. A follicle becomes cystic when it fails to ovulate and persists on the ovary. Despite an abundance of literature on the subject, the exact pathogenesis of C...
