STUDY OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether @entity397 increased the recurrence rate of @entity43 . DESIGN: 20-year single-institution retrospective study. SETTING: Tertiary, free-standing, university @entity1 's hospital. @entity1 : All @entity1 with @entity43 treated during between 1991 and 2011. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Tumor recurrence. RESULTS: Fifty-nine @entity5 in 53 @entity1 were managed, including 51/59 (86%) benign and 8/59 (14%) malignant. Laparotomy was employed in 44/59 (75%), laparoscopy in 8/59 (14%), and laparoscopy converted to laparotomy in 7/59 (12%). Total and partial oophorectomy (cystectomy) was used for 15/51 (29%) and 36/51 (71%) of @entity5 , respectively. All @entity5 underwent total oophorectomy. Accidental @entity397 or intentional @entity5 puncture occurred in 26/56 cases (46%), 23/51 benign and 3/5 malignant. @entity397 was associated with increasing cyst size on univariate and multivariate analyses (p = 0.002 and p = 0.004, respectively). There were 5 recurrences (9%) in 4 @entity1 , including 4 benign (3 mature @entity44 , 1 @entity8940 ), and 1 malignant yolk sac @entity5 . Recurrence occurred in 2/30 (7%) without @entity397 and 3/26 (12%) with @entity397 , p = 0.66. Follow-up was available for 50/53 @entity1 (94%), with a median of 23.8 months [range 0.2-189 months]. All recurrences were salvaged by surgery. CONCLUSIONS: In this limited study, intra-operative @entity397 did not increase the recurrence rate or worsen the prognosis of @entity43 .
