Paracentesis of an Ovarian Cyst During Second-Trimester Pregnancy.

A common issue is that modern obstetricians are required to manage ovarian cysts during pregnancy. Most lesions are benign and will spontaneously resolve, with a few exceptions. Management practices include conservative observation or surgery. Asymptomatic women with an ovarian cyst larger than 5 cm should undergo serial ultrasounds up to 16 weeks of pregnancy and, if the mass does not regress, further management with imaging or surgery is to be considered. This article presents a case of an ovarian cyst sized 21 cm in a second-trimester pregnancy and its management. Paracentesis was performed due to persisting symptoms. The procedure was performed with no complications for the mother and no adverse effects for the fetus. The patient was discharged in good health.

Intraoperative Myomectomy during Caesarean Section.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to support intracaesarian myomectomy as an alternative method of treatment. CASE REPORT: This article presents a case of myomectomy during a caesarean section at 38+1 weeks' gestation, with a subserosal myoma on the left wall of the uterus. CONCLUSION: The postoperative period was free of complications, lending credit to the possibility that intracaesarean myomectomy can have a favourable outcome.
