Patients were divided into two groups as Group 1 conventional and Group 2 Laparoscopic surgery. The two groups were retrospectively compared in terms of age, sex, mass localization, mass size, duration of operation, amount of bleeding, duration of hospitalization, duration of onset of food intake, perioperative mortality, early period complications and re-admission to the hospital within 90 days.
