Analysis by literature review with PRISMA 2020 methodology of laparoscopic surgical complications of ovarian cysts

Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery in the removal of ovarian cysts is one of the most widely used procedures in the world today due to its multiple advantages, but the procedure is not free of complications. The aim of this study was to analyze, by means of a literature review using PRISMA 2020 methodology, the laparoscopic surgical complications of ovarian cysts. The study was framed in the exploratory research level, using hermeneutics to analyze the systematic review developed in the databases Medline, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, from which 16 documents were finally included. It was shown that the main complications of laparoscopic surgery are vascular and intestinal damage, but less serious and frequent complications such as bladder and urethral damage, hernias and infections can also occur. We found that laparoscopic surgery has emerged as the preferred modality for the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of diseases, including ovarian cystectomy. Although this form of minimally invasive surgery has numerous advantages, including a lower incidence of complications, it is not without risk. It was concluded that, although the rate of complications in laparoscopic surgery is lower compared to conventional surgery, more research is needed to improve existing procedures, ensure their safety and create new methods
