Therapeutic effect of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic surgery versus triple-port laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cyst

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effect of transumbilical single port laparoscopic surgery (TSPLS) and three-port laparoscopic surgery (TPLS) on ovarian cyst. Methods: Clinical data of 60 patients with ovarian cyst admitted to our hospital were respectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a TPLS group (n=30) and a TSPLS group (n=30) according to surgical methods. Clinical indicators, visual analogue scale (VAS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self rating depression scale (SDS) and satisfaction regarding aesthetic appearance of the incision were compared between the two groups. Results: The operation time, time to anal exhaust and hospital stay in the TSPLS group were shorter than those in the TPLS group, and lower postoperative VAS, SAS and SDS scores and higher quality-of-life score were seen in the TSPLS group (all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the TSPLS group was lower than that in the TPLS group (P<0.05). The overall satisfaction in the TSPLS group was significantly higher than that in the TPLS group (93.33% vs. 66.67%; chi(2) =51.526, P=0.001). Conclusion: Compared with TPLS, TSPLS has better therapeutic effect on ovarian cyst. TSPLS can improve the clinical indications of patients with higher safety.

Automated summary

Comparing TSPLS and TPLS for treating ovarian cyst, TSPLS showed shorter operation time, lower postoperative pain, higher quality of life, greater satisfaction, and lower incidence of complications.
