Management Of A Giant Ovarian Cyst
Case Report: The patient reported that after her last delivery her abdomen had remained large as compared to previous deliveries. She also said to have noticed a gradual increase in the volume of her abdomen in the days following delivery. At admission, she was complaining of tension-type abdominal pain and was dyspnetic. As for the palpation, it revealed an enormous abdominopelvic mass with a dull note on percussion. The abdominal perimeter was 126 cm long. We performed a midline laparotomy from the lower abdomen up to the umbilicus (Fig .2) that allowed the externalization of the cyst located in the left ovary (Fig. 3). The abdominal wall was closed by some simple interrupted sutures. The patient’s abdomen turned flat immediately after surgery (Fig. 5). The removed cyst measured 42 cm long-axis and weighed 19.7 kg (Fig. 6). Post operative: The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was released from the hospital on the 3rd day after surgery. No complications were observed in the 45 days after surgery. |

Re: Management Of A Giant Ovarian Cyst
As a woman unlucky enough to be cursed with PCOS I'm so grateful I've had access to hormonal contraceptives and metformin over the years to prevent this.
