Minilaparotomy
Trocar positioning
Exploration
Expose the cyst and open it with the electrocautery scissors. Suction the cyst contents.
Tips: Depending on the thickness and quality of the cyst wall, resect it with the mono-/bipolar scissors or even the harmonic scalpel!
Perform careful hemostasis!
Deeper cysts (e.g., in polycystic liver disease) may display a blueish tinge and must be differentiated from veins: In these cases, laparoscopic ultrasound with vascular Doppler capability can be quite helpful!
