Ovarian Cystectomy Surgery

Removing Ovarian Cysts While Preserving Fertility

Ovarian cysts develop on the ovaries and are fluid-filled sacs that can cause pain, menstrual irregularities, or fertility challenges. Ovarian cystectomy is a procedure that removes these cysts while preserving ovarian function and reproductive health.

When is Ovarian Cystectomy Recommended?

• Large or persistent ovarian cysts that do not resolve naturally.
• Painful cysts causing discomfort, bloating, or irregular cycles.
• Endometriotic cysts that may affect fertility.
• Complex cysts or tumors.
• Suspected malignancy requiring early medical intervention.

Types of Ovarian Cysts Treated with Cystectomy

• Functional Cysts: Usually harmless but may require removal in some cases.
• Endometriomas: Cysts associated with endometriosis.
• Dermoid Cysts: Benign growths containing different types of tissue.
• Cystadenoma: Fluid-filled cysts that can grow large.
• Polycystic Ovaries: A condition that may require surgical intervention.

How is Ovarian Cystectomy Surgery Performed?

1. Pre-Surgical Assessment

• Ultrasound and medical evaluation to determine cyst type and size.
• Blood tests, including CA-125 for suspected malignancies.
• Fertility counseling if pregnancy planning is a concern.

2. Surgical Procedure

Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy (Minimally Invasive Approach)

• Small incisions are made in the abdomen.
• A laparoscope (tiny camera) guides the removal of the cyst.
• Surrounding healthy ovarian tissue is preserved.
• Benefits include faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced postoperative pain.

Open Surgery (Laparotomy) – For Complex or Large Cysts

• A traditional abdominal incision provides better access to larger cysts.
• Recommended when malignancy or extensive adhesions are suspected.

3. Recovery & Post-Surgical Care

• Laparoscopic Surgery: Shorter hospital stay, recovery within 1-2 weeks.
• Laparotomy: Requires a longer recovery period of 4-6 weeks.
• Post-surgery monitoring ensures ovarian function is maintained.
• Follow-up visits help assess healing and long-term reproductive health.
