Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

Expert surgical and medical interventions delivered with compassionate, patient-first care to help you regain your health and quality of life.

Overview

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside an ovary. While many cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some grow very large, cause severe pelvic pain, or raise concerns for malignancy.

**Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy** is a delicate, minimally invasive surgery designed to meticulously peel away and remove the cyst while preserving the healthy surrounding ovarian tissue. This is incredibly important for young women, as leaving the healthy ovary intact preserves hormonal balance and future fertility.

At Prakash Hospital, our expert gynecological surgeons use state-of-the-art laparoscopy to perform this precise surgery with tiny incisions, ensuring you recover rapidly and safely.

Why is it Done?

Surgery is typically recommended when a cyst:
  • Causes severe, persistent pelvic pain or pressure.
  • Grows very large (usually larger than 5-10 centimeters).
  • Is a complex type of cyst, such as an Endometrioma ("chocolate cyst") or a Dermoid cyst, which will not resolve on their own.
  • Appears suspicious on an ultrasound, requiring removal for a biopsy to rule out ovarian cancer.
  • Causes ovarian torsion—a medical emergency where the heavy cyst causes the ovary to twist, cutting off its blood supply.

What to Expect

During the Procedure: You will be under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes 3 small keyhole incisions (0.5 to 1 cm) in your abdomen. Using a laparoscope (camera) and highly precise instruments, the surgeon carefully isolates the ovary, makes a small cut on its surface, and gently peels the cyst away from the healthy tissue. The cyst is then placed in a surgical bag and safely removed through one of the incisions.

Preservation: Great care is taken to use minimal heat or cautery near the healthy ovarian tissue to protect the remaining eggs (ovarian reserve).

Risks & Benefits

The Benefits:

Laparoscopic removal offers rapid pain relief, confirms the exact nature of the cyst via biopsy, and most importantly, saves the healthy ovary to preserve your fertility.

Understanding the Risks:

Risks include bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding organs. In rare cases where the cyst is excessively large or heavily entangled with the ovary, the entire ovary may need to be removed (oophorectomy), though we take every precaution to avoid this.

Recovery Profile

Because this is a minimally invasive surgery, recovery is very fast.

Most patients go home the very same day or the next morning. You will experience mild abdominal soreness and potentially shoulder pain from the surgical gas for a few days.

You should rest for the first few days, but light walking is encouraged. Most women can return to work and light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, avoiding heavy lifting or vigorous exercise until fully cleared by the surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an ovarian cyst grow back after it's removed?

The specific cyst we remove will not grow back. However, depending on the underlying cause (like endometriosis or hormonal imbalances), your ovaries can develop new cysts in the future.

Will this surgery lower my egg count (ovarian reserve)?

Any surgery on the ovary carries a small risk of reducing the ovarian reserve. Our surgeons use specialized 'stripping' techniques that avoid excessive cauterization to maximize the preservation of your healthy eggs.
