ca 125 scope and be prepared to do hyst depending on results

or 1 - 2 month ocps if ca125 normal if cyst gone no problem and 82% are normal anyway if cyst still present after 1-2 months of ocps 82% are not normal - out of speroff a couple editions back

that's what i do

i took a 10 cm endometrioma out fvia the scope 2 weeks ago and a 12 cm cyst out last week with original w/u with ca on the list - endo - drained and rtemoved as outpt

if it looks benign - clean pelvis or endo io do the scope

i have taken these out or done a uso and taken the cyst out via the vaginal with an incision posterior to the cervix

the ugliest mass i ever say i just new was ca was benign but i did a full tahbso and omentectomy before the path came back all b9 on multiple multiple frozens - final path b9 too - and ca 125 benign too

--

do want to be careful and selective

i will extend the midline suprapubic incision and use a pleatmen sac or similar device with an intact ovary at times too

the huge majority are b9

even in post menopausal pts where i will do a bilateral oophrectomy while i am there via the scope

my experience over 11 yrs here in private practice
