Ovarian surgery via pelviscopy.

A retrospective study of operative pelviscopy was undertaken at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel to review the spectrum of ovarian surgery performed from 1987 to 1989. The purpose of this study was to assess the scope of surgery (cystectomies, ovariolysis, ovarian biopsy and cyst puncture), and to identify any advantages or disadvantages associated with the procedure.
