Ovarian Cyst Removal Surgery

 

Ovarian cyst removal surgery, medically known as ovarian cystectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to remove cysts that develop on the ovaries. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form on or within the ovaries. While many ovarian cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, others may cause pain, discomfort, or other complications, necessitating surgical intervention.

Here is an overview of ovarian cyst removal surgery:

Indications: Ovarian cystectomy is typically recommended when:

·         The cyst is large, causing pain or pressure on nearby organs.

·         The cyst is suspicious for malignancy or cancer.

·         The cyst persists or grows in size over time.

·         The cyst causes twisting (torsion) of the ovary, leading to severe pain.

·         The cyst interferes with fertility or poses a risk during pregnancy.

Procedure:

Anesthesia: Ovarian cystectomy is performed under general anesthesia, which means the patient is unconscious and feels no pain during the surgery.

Incision: The surgeon makes one or more small incisions in the abdominal area, typically using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. In some cases, a larger incision (laparotomy) may be necessary for more extensive cysts or if cancer is suspected.

Cyst Removal: The surgeon carefully identifies and removes the cyst from the ovary while taking care not to damage the healthy ovarian tissue.

Biopsy: If there are concerns about cancer, a tissue sample may be sent for biopsy during the procedure to determine whether the cyst is malignant or benign.

Closure: After removing the cyst, the surgeon closes the incision(s) with stitches or staples and may place a small drain if necessary.

Recovery:

Recovery from ovarian cyst removal surgery is typically quicker for minimally invasive procedures compared to open surgery.

Patients may experience some discomfort or pain after the surgery, which can usually be managed with pain medications.

Most individuals can resume normal activities within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the type of surgery and individual recovery.

Follow-up appointments with the surgeon are essential to monitor healing and ensure there are no complications.

It's important to note that not all ovarian cysts require surgical removal, and the decision to proceed with surgery is based on various factors, including the type of cyst, its size, and the presence of symptoms. A gynecologist or gynecologic surgeon will evaluate the specific circumstances of each patient and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
