Improvement and effect of stress responses and ovarian reserve function in patients with ovarian cysts after laparoscopic surgery

Objectives This study aimed to examine improvement and the effect of stress responses and ovarian reserve function in patients with ovarian cysts after laparoscopic surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 117 patients with ovarian cysts. Fifty-one patients who were treated with abdominal ovarian cyst dissection were in the control group. Sixty-six patients who were treated with laparoscopic ovarian cyst dissection were in the experimental group. Results Operative conditions and recovery in the experimental group were better than those in the control group. After surgery, changes in most ovarian reserve function indices in the experimental group were significantly less than that in the control group. The maximum diameter of the ovary and the number of antral follicles after surgery were less in the experimental group than in the control group. Changes in stress response indices after surgery were significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group. Conclusions Laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery may have a relatively small adverse effect on multiple related indices of ovarian reserve function. The patient’s stress response level is also lower after this surgery. Therefore, laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery is suitable for treating patients with ovarian cysts.
