The management of dermoid cysts -- a comparative study of laparoscopy and laparotomy . The aim of our study was to compare laparoscopy with laparotomy for the removal of ovarian dermoid cysts . Thirty-eight women with benign ovarian dermoid cyst were allocated for either laparoscopy ( 18 patients ) or laparotomy ( 20 patients ) . The two groups were compared for operative and hospitalization times and postoperative course . Operating time was longer ( 93.6 +/- 23.8 min ) and hospitalization time significantly shorter ( 22.4 +/- 6.6 h ) in the laparoscopy group . No complications were reported in either group . We conclude that operative laparoscopy is a safe procedure for the removal of dermoid ovarian cysts and is as effective as laparotomy .
