We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for recurrence of surgically managed ovarian @entity44 ( @entity44 ). A total of 178 @entity1 with @entity44 managed surgically at our clinic were included in this retrospective study. The cases were followed for a minimum of 34 months. Risk factors recorded were age, gravidity, diameter of @entity44 , @entity5 markers, bilaterality, operation time and recurrence time. One hundred forty-one @entity1 (79.2%) underwent laparoscopy and the other thirty-seven @entity1 (20.8%) underwent laparotomy. The mean age of @entity1 with cyst recurrence was significantly lower than that of @entity1 without recurrence (p = 0.02). There was a significantly lower median gravidity and parity in this group. The capacity of younger age, lower gravidity and parity in predicting the recurrence of ovarian @entity44 was analysed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The cut-off value of age, number of gravidity and parity was 26, 1 and 0, respectively. In conclusion, younger age and lower gravidity and parity were predictive of recurrence due to a more conservative approach in young and nulliparous @entity1 . Therefore, we suggest regular follow-up visits during the postoperative period, especially for younger @entity1 and those with lower numbers of gravidity and parity.
