648had been sufficiently deflated to pass through the incision. There is no need to extend the wound or to perform a colpotomy.The results of Yuen and Rogers (1993) compared well with Manyonda et al. (1993) and Nezhat et al. (1989). The average size of the dermoid cyst was 6 cm and the mean operative time was 72 minutes (range 60 to 90 minutes). The post-operative pain was minimal, and all patients were fit for discharge 48 hours after the operation. In experienced hands, laparoscopic removal of dermoid cysts is a safe and effective procedure. The use of Endopouch eliminates the risk of spillage and the need to extend the skin wound or perform colpotomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
