Özet
This study aimed to analyse the management protocols, surgical approaches, and outcomes of the women with Borderline ovarian tumours (BOT) at Ankara Etlik Zubeyde Hanım Women's Health Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. One hundred and seventy-seven patients diagnosed with serous and mucinous BOT were enrolled in the study. Demographic, clinical, and pathological data were reviewed retrospectively from the medical records. The patients were divided into two groups according to surgical interventions: Laparoscopy group (n=50) and Laparotomy group (n=127). Treatment was conservative in 107 (60.5%) patients. Mean age at diagnosis (48.69 ± 12.52 vs. 41.1±11.66 years, p<0.001), tumour size (84.13 ± 51.85 mm vs. 67.1 ± 34.78 mm, p = 0.013), and number of postmenopausal patients (n = 55 vs. 9, p = 0.002) were significantly higher in the Laparotomy group. There were no significant differences in the rates of intraoperative cyst rupture (22% vs. 18%, p = 0.120) and recurrence (2.25% vs. 5.05%, p = 0.760). There was no difference between radical vs. conservative surgery and laparotomy vs. laparoscopy in terms of recurrences. In appropriate cases, the conservative treatment and laparoscopy may be preferred.
