Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Teratoma
This video demonstrates Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Teratoma by Dr. R.K. Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. In most cases, ovarian mature cystic teratomas are asymptomatic with only 3-4% of women presenting with acute pelvic pain, which is usually due to torsion. There is no role for expectant management in such cases and they need emergency surgery. The risk of torsion is highest in ovarian mature cystic teratoma because of the long pedicle, and nearly all tort cases were 5-6 cm in size. Mature ovarian teratomas (dermoid cysts) are generally removed by laparoscopic surgery if the cyst is small. This involves a small incision in the abdomen to insert a scope and a small cutting tool. A small risk of laparoscopic removal is that the cyst can become punctured and leak waxy material. Unfortunately, there is no clinical, biological, or radiological sign that may exclude the diagnosis of adnexal torsion. The presence of flow at color Doppler imaging does not allow the exclusion of the diagnosis. An emergency laparoscopy is recommended for adnexal untwisting, except in postmenopausal women where oophorectomy is recommended. A persistent black color of the adnexa after untwisting is not an indication of systematic oophorectomy since a functional recovery is possible. Ovariopexy is not routinely recommended following adnexal untwisting. These tumors rarely come back after being removed. If careful staging has determined that a grade 1 immature teratoma is limited to one or both ovaries, surgery to remove the ovary or ovaries containing cancer and the fallopian tube or tubes might be the only treatment needed.

Teratomas happen when complications arise during your cells' differentiation process. In particular, they develop in your body's germ cells, which are undifferentiated. This means they can turn into any type of cell – from egg and sperm to hair cells. Mature ovarian teratomas (dermoid cysts) are generally removed by laparoscopic surgery, if the cyst is small. This involves a small incision in the abdomen to insert a scope and a small cutting tool. A small risk of laparoscopic removal is that the cyst can become punctured and leak waxy material.

Teratomas can be addressed through different methods depending on the type detected. However, they are usually removed by means of laparoscopic surgery. Moreover, if it was a malignant tumor, the patient should undergo chemotherapy. Benign ovarian tumors are typically removed by laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive technique that consists in inserting a tiny, lighted camera through the abdomen to look inside the cavity. It requires the surgeon to make just a small incision in the abdomen.

I have a 15cm x 11cm ovarian teratoma that needs to be removed..is that able to be removed laparoscopically? And are patients put asleep for it?

This video illustrates the laparoscopic removal of ovarian teratoma by Dr. R.K. Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. Ovarian teratomas are typically asymptomatic, with a small percentage of cases causing acute pelvic pain due to torsion. Emergency laparoscopic surgery is often required for such cases. Despite some risks, laparoscopic removal is a common and effective approach, with a low chance of recurrence after successful removal.
