A novel surgical technique for the large ovarian cystic mass - combined mini-laparotomy and laparoscopy.

CONCLUSION: Combined mini-laparotomy and laparoscopy to resect ovarian masses > ten cm has potential benefits for patients in terms of faster recovery, lower analgesia requirements, and improved cosmetic outcome. Larger prospective studies are required to adequately assess complication rates, quality of life, and long-term outcomes in those patients with ovarian tumours of low malignant potential.
