Ovarian Cyst Removal During Cesarean Section: Malpractice or Not?
Ovarian cysts are commonly encountered during pregnancy, often being benign and asymptomatic. However, in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. This case report presents a patient who underwent ovarian cyst removal during a cesarean section. We discuss the indications for surgery, surgical approach, potential complications, and outcomes. This case aims to contribute to the limited literature on this subject and evaluate whether this practice is justified or constitutes malpractice.
