78
Q

tx postmenopausal ovarian cyst:

septated, has increased vascular flow on Doppler, has solid components, or has papillary projections

A

oophorectomy with intraoperative frozen sections; TAH if ovarian cancer

79
Q

tx postmenopausal patient ovarian cyst: if no septation, no vascular flow on doppler, no solid components, no papillary projections

A

follow with ultrasound for 1 year -> if persists or gets larger -> oophorectomy with intraoperative frozen sections; TAH if ovarian CA

80
Q

tx premenopausal ovarian cyst:

septated, has increased vascular flow on Doppler, has solid components, or has papillary projections

A

oophorectomy with intraoperative frozen sections usual: algorithm becomes very complicated, weighing aggression of cancer (based on histology and stage at time of operation) compared with whether the pt desires future pregnancy

81
Q

tx premenopausal patient ovarian cyst: if no septation, no vascular flow on doppler, no solid components, no papillary projections

can follow with ultrasound; surgery if suspicious findings appear

biopsy mass, 4 quadrant wash, biopsy omentum, look for metastases and biopsy.

  • if original procedure elective (Eg gastric bypass), may need to abort procedure depending on findings
  • do not perform oophorectomy
