Objective: To review laparoscopic surgery results for ovarian tumors in pregnant patients at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital over a 5-year period from 2019 to 2023.
Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted retrospectively on 74 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of ovarian tumors during pregnancy at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023.
Results: The average age of the patients was 27.1 ± 4.0 years, 74.3% of the cases expressed a desire for future childbirth, and 64.8% had a history of previous surgical scars. The rate of laparoscopic cystectomy was 77.03%, with the majority performed as urgent surgeries (74.3%), and most patients presented with ruptured torsioned ovarian tumors (70.3%). None of the patients experienced surgical complications; they remained stable postoperatively and had no complications. The average length of hospital stay was 5.1 ± 2.0 days, and 44.6% of pathology reports were diagnosed as dermoid cysts.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of ovarian tumors in pregnant women is relatively safe, with a 100% rate of patients experiencing no surgical complications or adverse events in our study. In the younger patient population, laparoscopic cystectomy is often preferred (77.03%). Emergency surgery may be indicated for ruptured torsion ovarian tumors (74.3%).
