Description

A team of surgeons compare two ways to remove ovarian cysts in this 2025 meta-analysis. One route is single-site surgery, where all tools pass through one small cut. The other is conventional laparoscopy, which uses several ports. Both treat benign cysts, and patients care about pain and recovery as much as success.

The team searched five databases for studies up to June 2024. They kept randomized trials and observational studies that compared the two routes head to head for cyst removal. Main outcomes were operating time, blood loss, hospital stay, pain after surgery, and complications. Results were pooled as mean differences or risk ratios with confidence intervals. The synthesis aims to tell surgeons and patients what the single-cut route gains or loses against the standard one.
