Abstract
Abdominal tumor in the gynecological domain has been treated mainly by laparotomy. A less invasive and more effective therapy capable of dealing with elderly persons, the youth and unmarried women in whom laparatomy poses a problem and cases desirous of bearing a child in which the impact of laparatomy poses a major problem for the postoperative course has been expected. Diagnosis and treatment under an ultrasonic guide as well as diagnosis and surgery under laparoscopy have come to be performed positively as a routine procedure to cope with such a medicare environment in recent years.
Regarding “puncture and drug infusion therapy under ultrasonic guide”, a new therapy for benign ovarian tumors without having a recourse to laparotomy, we explain about it mainly in reference to our 8-years therapeutic experience and discuss its future. Being therapeutically effective and less invasive, this therapy is expected to become more popular and be used more frequently with various improvements made on the aspect of preserving the function in the future.
