The aim of this work is to evaluate the postoperative consequences of laparoendoscopic single site surgery relative to conventional laparoscopy in presumed benign ovarian cyst. The hypothesis is that single incision technique might offer advantages over the standard multi-port laparoscopy as potentially leading to less postoperative pain and improved cosmoses from a relatively hidden umbilical scar, as well as risk reduction of postoperative wound infection, hernia formation and elimination of multiple trocar site closure
