A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF SURGICALLY MANAGED BENIGN ADNEXAL MASSES AND ACUTE EMERGENCIES IN WOMEN FROM A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE.

Background: Benign adnexal masses represent a significant clinical concern, with diverse etiologies and potential for acute complications. This study aims to provide insights into the surgical management of these masses and associated emergencies in a tertiary care setting. Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes, efficacy, and safety of surgical interventions for benign adnexal masses and related acute emergencies in a cohort of women. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 94 women who underwent surgical treatment for benign adnexal masses and related emergencies at a tertiary care center. Patient demographics, clinical presentations, surgical procedures, outcomes, and complications were analyzed. Results: The study population primarily consisted of reproductive age grouped women, with a median age of 35 years. The most common presenting symptoms were abdominal pain and discomfort. Laparoscopy was the predominant surgical approach, used in 70% of cases. The majority of the masses were ovarian cysts. Postoperative complications were minimal, with a low rate of conversion to open surgery. The overall success rate of the surgeries was high, with a significant improvement in symptoms and minimal postoperative morbidity. Conclusion: Surgical management of benign adnexal masses and related emergencies in a tertiary care setting is safe and effective, with minimal complications and favorable outcomes. This study underscores the importance of tailored surgical approaches based on individual patient presentations and emphasizes the role of minimally invasive techniques in enhancing patient recovery.
