Evidence of 39 treated cases of cystic adnexal tumours of unclarified
quality indicates that laparoscopic resection with subsequent extracti
on of the entire tumour in an endobag could provide the possibility of
an endoscopic operation even in cases of indistinct tumours or of pat
ients with enhanced perioperative risks. in particular patients with i
ncreased morbidity due to immobilisation might especially benefit from
this technique.
