Single-port compared with conventional laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for benign ovarian cysts: a systematic review and meta-analysis
To evaluate current evidence on the safety and impact on ovarian reserve of single-port laparoscopic cystectomy (SLC) for the treatment of benign ovarian cysts.
Key Findings:
14 studies involving 1,691 participants were included.
No significant differences between SLC and CLC in intraoperative complications (P = 0.50) or postoperative complications (P = 0.49).
SLC was associated with lower postoperative pain scores at 24 hours (P = 0.02) but longer operative time (P = 0.001).
Interpretation:
SLC results in longer operative times compared to CLC.
Limitations:
Majority of included studies were retrospective.
Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate findings.
