Comparative Study
[Comparison of gas and gasless laparoscopy in the treatment of benign ovarian tumors].
The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of the gas and gasless laparoscopy in the treatment of benign ovarian tumors. ⋯ Gasless laparoscopic cystectomy is equally efficient and safe as gas laparoscopy. The lack of necessity of producing and maintaining pneumoperitoneum during the surgery was additional advantage of gasless laparoscopy in comparison to gas laparoscopy, because it was possible to perform it in epidural anesthesia.
