Short-term Outcomes and Pregnancy Rate After Laparoscopic Fertility-Sparing Surgery for Borderline Ovarian Tumors: A Single-Institute Experience
Objective
We investigated the short-term outcomes and pregnancy rate after a laparoscopic approach to fertility preservation in patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs).
Methods
Clinic-pathologic variants of patients with BOTs who underwent conservative surgery at the Tianjin Central Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology between January 2009 and July 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results
Among 211 patients with BOTs, 74 (35.1%) received conservative surgery (44 cases using a laparoscopic approach and 30 cases using a laparotomy approach). The mean age of the laparotomy group was significantly younger than that of the laparoscopic group (P = 0.024). The maximal longitude of the tumor in the laparotomy group was significantly longer than that in the laparoscopic group (P
