Newest Paper on Laparoscopic Single Site Ovarian Cystectomy Online Now!
Dr. Marchand is thrilled to announce that his latest systematic review is now officially published and freely available online today! Titled “Comparison of the Surgical Treatment of Adnexal Masses in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients by Gynecologic Surgeons versus Pediatric Surgeons, a Systematic Review”, this work—led by Greg J. Marchand and colleagues from the Marchand Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery—provides important insights into optimizing care for young patients with ovarian and adnexal lesions.
The review highlights key advantages when gynecologic surgeons lead these procedures, including significantly lower complication rates, higher rates of ovarian-sparing surgery, fewer conversions from laparoscopy to open surgery, shorter hospital stays, and reduced risk of tumor spillage—while maintaining similar recurrence rates compared to pediatric surgeons. These findings underscore the value of specialized gynecologic expertise in pediatric and adolescent cases, and we believe this work will help guide clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for young patients.
Best of all, the full paper is open access and completely free to read right now. Here are the direct links:
