Nuestra experiencia con la laparoscopia operatoria de los anejos uterinos en dos hospitales comarcales / Our experince with operative laparoscopy for adnexal cystic masses in two general hospitals

ABSTRACT

We have reviewed our initial experience with surgi-cal laparoscopy, following it introduction in two ge-neral hospitals Motril Hospital (Granada) and Po-niente Hospital (Almería). We describe our criteria and the diverse surgical techniques used; average operation time, average hospital stay, and intra or postoperative complications. Surgical laparoscopy is the first option for the ma-jority of adnexal cystic masses, allowing early hospi-tal discharge and minimal mortality for the patient. However, it requires a suitable period of training, with regard to its limitations, and above all to underli-ne its limited, but potencially serious complications (AU)
