Patients were divided into MPL and SP-LC groups based on surgical technique. Perioperative parameters were recorded. Postoperative pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 24 and 72 hours. Inflammatory markers were measured preoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively. Ovarian reserve function was evaluated preoperatively and at 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Postoperative complications were documented. Aesthetic satisfaction was assessed at discharge, and scar quality was evaluated using the Patient Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS)ss at 1 and 3 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SP-LC showed better perioperative recovery than MPL. It was associated with less intraoperative blood loss (43.06 \u00b1 11.79 vs. 48.12 \u00b1 12.85 mL, P = 0.014), earlier first exhaust (15.82 \u00b1 5.21 vs. 18.47 \u00b1 5.74 h, P = 0.004), earlier ambulation (13.89 \u00b1 3.17 vs. 15.63 \u00b1 3.51 h, P = 0.002), and shorter hospital stay (3.94 \u00b1 0.85 vs. 4.31 \u00b1 0.92 d, P = 0.011). Pain scores were lower in the SP-LC group at 24 and 72 hours postoperatively (both P&amp;lt;0.001). Postoperative CRP and WBC levels were also lower after SP-LC (both P&amp;lt;0.001). Ovarian reserve markers did not differ significantly between groups. The overall complication rate was lower in the SP-LC group (11.59% vs. 25.93%, P = 0.027). Aesthetic satisfaction at discharge was higher after SP-LC (P = 0.006), and PSAS scores were lower at 1 and 3 months postoperatively (P = 0.002 and P = 0.003).<\/jats:p>\n
