Direct balloon trocar technique for closed decompression of large predominantly cystic ovarian tumors in adolescents
Large predominantly cystic ovarian tumors are generally associated with a favorable prognosis. Preemptive in situ decompression using a balloon trocar represents a simple, effective, and rapid technique to minimize the risk of tumor spillage. This approach facilitates safe ovary-sparing surgery for these large tumors, while also providing excellent cosmetic outcomes.
