Director Chen Jianguo of the Gynecology Department considered the risk of ovarian torsion necrosis, and after a comprehensive evaluation of factors including the patient's young age, surgical risks, fertility considerations, and cosmetic outcomes, and following thorough communication with the family, Director Chen and the team promptly arranged for a “Single-Port Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy”. The patient recovered well postoperatively and was discharged smoothly after 3 days, with a concealed abdominal incision and a “scarless” appearance.

Rongrong's mother expressed, Initially, we thought surgery would leave an unsightly scar, but unexpectedly, the single-port laparoscopic surgery left only a small wound less than 2 cm in the navel, which is barely visible and does not affect the girl's love for beauty at all. We are very grateful to the gynecology experts at HeYou Hospital for choosing this surgical approach for our daughter.

Ovarian tumors are among the most common gynecological tumors, generally presenting no specific symptoms. If the mass is large, it may manifest as a lower abdominal bulge where a mass can be palpated. If torsion occurs, abdominal pain may develop.

Ovarian tumors can occur at any age, most commonly in women of childbearing age, but the possibility of the disease in children cannot be ignored. A significant number of young girls develop ovarian tumors, which can be either benign or malignant. In recent years, the incidence of ovarian tumors in children has shown a gradual increasing trend.
