N2 - The success of transvaginal aspiration of ovarian cysts in terms of cyst dimensions, location, and content and the age of the women was evaluated in 35 women aged 17 to 76 years old. Three parameters proved important in predicting the outcome of aspiration: age of the woman (higher age = poorer prognosis for cure), maximum diameter of the cyst (larger diameter = poorer prognosis), and location (left-sided cysts have a poorer prognosis). Prognosis based on outcome indicates aspiration of large cysts should be avoided in older women.
