2. Figure 1
(A and B) In the study group, the ovarian capsule is grasped by two Manhes forceps on the mesial side, defined as the anterior, hilar margin of the ovary, where the tubal fimbria is closely applied to the tubal pole of the ovary. (C) The capsule is then incised by scissors. (D) Cyst enucleation is completed by atraumatic dissection; by suspending the whole ovary from its mesial side, the dermoid enucleation is enhanced, thanks to gravity and the weight of the cyst itself.
