Transvaginal sonography-guided aspiration of benign ovarian cysts: a retrospective evaluation of safety, feasibility, and economic and environmental implications

Transvaginal sonography-guided ovarian cyst aspiration appears to be a safe and feasible treatment option for carefully selected benign ovarian cysts, with low short-term recurrence and minimal morbidity. Available evidence suggests potential economic advantages and a likely lower environmental impact compared with minimally invasive surgery. Given the small sample size, this approach should be considered a complementary or alternative option in selected patients rather than a first-line treatment and warrants further evaluation in larger prospective studies.
