| PubMedID- 21985734 | The conclusion reached was that chemical peritonitis following dermoid spillage during laparoscopic surgery is a rare complication with an incidence of <1% if cyst contents are carefully and entirely removed.4 however, with incomplete removal, as in this case, the incidence of chemical peritonitis is likely much higher as the body reacts to cyst contents. |
