Study Design: Through a retrospective and analytical-aim-study, over a period of 35 years in 2 surgical departments, we reported all operative cases for LH in children, regardless of cyst number, location, and aspect. Univariate and multivariable analyses were used to assess variables potentially predictive of postoperative morbidity.
