| Popis: | Background: Oophorectomy is being increasingly carried out in the management of breast disease, as either adjuvant treatment for breast cancer or for prevention of ovarian and fallopian tube cancer in BRCA gene mutation carriers. The aims of this study were to determine the surgical outcome of laparoscopic oophorectomy when carried out by breast surgeons and whether laparoscopic oophorectomy can be safely carried out during the same anaesthesia as breast surgery. Methods: Patients who had laparoscopic oophorectomy carried out by two breast surgeons were reviewed with regard to the indication, surgical outcome and concurrent procedures. Salpingectomy was also carried out when the indication was prevention. Results: Seventy patients with breast disease had laparoscopic oophorectomy between January 2000 and June 2007. Forty-three patients had laparoscopic oophorectomy for adjuvant endocrine treatment of early breast cancer, 13 for prophylaxis, 7 for endocrine and prophylactic reasons and 7 for treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Sixteen patients had laparoscopic oophorectomy and breast surgery at the same time, without complication. Of note, four BRCA mutation carriers had prophylactic mastectomies, bilateral breast reconstruction and bilateral laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy. No patient required conversion to an open procedure, including 29 patients with previous abdominal surgery. There were no significant complications. Three patients had ovarian cancer or breast cancer detected in an ovary. Conclusion: Laparoscopic oophorectomy can be safely and efficiently carried out by breast surgeons with expertise in laparoscopic surgery. Previous abdominal surgery did not prevent a successful laparoscopic approach. Breast oncological and/or reconstructive surgery and laparoscopic oophorectomy can be reliably carried out as a combined procedure. |
