Just wanted to know for a 4inch teratoma near the ovary would that most like require which type of surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laparascopic: A laparascopic cystectomy is a good option for removal of a teratoma that size. It depends on the surgeon skill set, the ovarian cyst size and the number of surgeries or medical issues you may have Best Wishes Dr M
