Comparison Between Electrosurgical Energy and Hemostatic Sealants on Hemostasis in Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

Optimizing Hemostasis in Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy: A Comparison Between Electrosurgical Energy and Hemostatic Sealants.

About This Trial

The aim of this study is to compare between the effect of using electrosurgical energy and hemostatic sealant for hemostasis in laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian cysts.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Age ≥ 18 years old. - Women with unilateral or bilateral benign ovarian cyst provisionally diagnosed by ultrasound and normal tumor markers. - Women fit for laparoscopic surgery Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Pregnant women. - Postmenopausal women. - Premenarchal girls. - Women with a history of recent pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy. - Women with serious concurrent systemic disorders. - Known ovarian malignancy provisionally diagnosed by ultrasound (US) or tumor markers. - Women with coagulopathy or bleeding disorders. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

PROCEDURE

laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy using hemostatic sealant

* A small incision will be made on the ovarian surface using laparoscopic scissors. * Nontraumatic grasping forceps will be used to dissect the cyst capsule away from the soft tissue of the ovary. * The cyst will be removed intact to avoid spillage of its contents. If rupture occurs, the peritoneal cavity will be irrigated thoroughly. * After the removal of the cyst, the ovarian bed should be inspected for bleeding, and if there is minimal bleeding, using of electrocautery should be avoided to minimize thermal damage to the ovary. * The hemostatic sealant as Surgicel original, Surgicel Fibrillar (ETHICON, USA) which is an absorbable hemostat (oxidized regenerated cellulose) will be applied directly to the bleeding surface 1:5sheets of hemostat will be used.
