Surgery of borderline tumors of the ovary: retrospective comparison of short‐term outcome after laparoscopy or laparotomy

Abstract: Laparoscopic treatment of borderline ovarian tumors is feasible if tumor is of moderate size (diameter below 10 cm), gives fewer complications, and shorter hospital stay. Long-term follow-up of larger materials is needed to determine the ultimate recurrence risk as well as fertility rates.

“…Owing to recent developments in oncologic surgery, laparoscopy seems to be an attractive approach for BOT as it is for benign ovarian tumors [68]. Considering the low malignant potential of BOT this procedure appears to be safe and adequate, especially for conservatively treated patients [69]. A shorter period of postoperative recovery and fewer adhesions, which are important for fertility, support these efforts [70].…”

“…Sie führt zwar durchschnittlich zu etwas längeren Operationszeiten, ist aber mit weniger postoperativen Komplikationen und Schmerzen behaftet [198]. Eine geringere Komplikationsrate und kürzere Krankenhausverweildauer wurde auch bei BOT berichtet [80,188] [189,199]. Allerdings sind die bisher verfügbaren Daten diesbezüglich nicht überzeugend, entsprechend sehen die aktuellen Leitlinien und Übersichten keine Indikation für die adjuvante Therapie [148,149].…”

“…Several authors concluded that this treatment is feasible with fewer complications and shorter hospitalisation provided the tumour size is less than 10 [3] or 5 cm [4], underlining also that long-term follow-up and fertility rates are similar between laparoscopy and laparotomy techniques [5]. Others show that the only difference seems to concern the post-operative complications that appear less after laparoscopy [3] than laparotomy [6,7]. In our opinion many factors have to be considered when assessing the feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for very large ovarian tumours with low malignancy.…”
