Laparoscopic removal of dermoid cysts.

Abstract

Nine reproductive-age women underwent removal of unilateral or bilateral dermoid cysts via laparoscopy. Over a follow-up period of 12-42 months, there were no immediate or long-term complications. Four patients have had repeat laparoscopy for evaluation of possible pelvic adhesion formation; one had mild periovarian adhesions and the pelvis appeared normal in the other three.
