Postoperative Outcomes among Pediatric and Adolescent Patients Undergoing Minilaparotomy vs Laparoscopy in the Management of Adnexal Lesions
2017, Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent GynecologyCitation Excerpt :A minilaparotomy incision defined as a transverse or vertical incision 3-5 cm in length can be considered an alternative to laparoscopy and is supported in specific settings as complementary to laparoscopy in adults.2,3 It is considered a minimally invasive surgical technique because it fulfills the criteria of a small and aesthetic abdominal incision.2,4 Small case series have described the minilaparotomy technique and its advantages in pediatrics, which include decreased risk of cyst rupture and more working space in a smaller abdominal cavity.4,5
Mini-Laparotomy Versus Laparoscopy for Gynecologic Conditions
2014, Journal of Minimally Invasive GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Patients did not require repeat operation or hospital admission more frequently when undergoing mini-laparotomy, although this study was not designed to detect differences in these secondary outcomes. The present study confirms the findings of previous studies of mini-laparotomy that have retrospectively and prospectively demonstrated short operative times and minimal complication rates [12–17]. The study was not powered to detect differences in readmission, repeat operation, wound complications, and emergency room visits; however, there seems to be a trend toward equivalence.

2009, Journal of Minimally Invasive GynecologyComparison of ultraminilaparotomy for myomectomy through midline vertical incision or modified Pfannenstiel incision-a prospective short-term follow-up
2009, Fertility and SterilityCitation Excerpt :Both have been accepted as minimal access and less traumatic surgical methods (13). This less invasive procedure has been used in the management of various kinds of benign gynecologic diseases (14, 16, 19, 25), and some have used it in the management of malignant gynecologic diseases (26, 27), although there is some controversy regarding it use in the management of these diseases (28). In our previous study (13), we clearly demonstrated the potential for and the possible use of UMLT in place of conventional laparotomy in the management of uncomplicated uterine myomas, because of the many advantages of the former (UMLT), including less postoperative pain (less VAS) and better recovery.
