Detailed Description

This is a retrospective analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous laparoscopy for the ovarian tissue explant in oncologic women. Surgical outcomes of patients that underwent percutaneous laparoscopy were compared with those of women that underwent conventional laparoscopy. Data from 2017 to 2021 were collected in a single Oncologic Center in Italy. The principal outcomes considered are post-operative pain, recovery time and aesthetic outcomes.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-operative pain
Time Frame: 0-1 and 2 days after surgery
Post-operative pain is evaluated with VAS score ranging from 1 to 10 (higher score, maximum pain)
0-1 and 2 days after surgery
Aesthetic outcomes
Time Frame: minimum 3 months after surgery
General satisfaction regarding aesthetic outcomes is collected with a satisfaction survey. The score ranged from 1 to 5, with 1 indicating "very dissatisfied" and 5 "very satisfied".
minimum 3 months after surgery
