Procedure Note
A midline vertical incision extending 5 cm above the umbilicus was made.
There was minimal fluid in the peritoneum. A dent of 1 cm x 1 cm was
noted in the right ovary. The uterus was normal. A cystectomy was done.
Bilateral tubes and left ovary were normal. A 500-gm-old blood clot was
evacuated from the abdomen. The cut section revealed hemorrhagic fluid
and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. The post-op
diagnosis of a ruptured corpus luteal cyst was made. (Figure 1)
