Overview

An Ovarian Cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove cysts from the ovaries while preserving healthy ovarian tissue. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form on one or both ovaries and are common in women of reproductive age.

This procedure is particularly important for women who wish to maintain fertility, as it carefully removes only the cyst while leaving the ovary intact. At our clinic, we offer advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive ovarian cystectomy with precision and safety.

Why Ovarian Cystectomy is Performed

Cysts may require surgical removal if they:

• Are large or persistent and do not resolve naturally.

• Cause pelvic pain or pressure.

• Affect fertility or IVF outcomes.

• Have a suspicious appearance, requiring evaluation to rule out cancer.

• Rupture or cause complications such as internal bleeding.

Types of Ovarian Cystectomy

1. Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

   • Minimally invasive with small abdominal incisions.

   • Faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.

   • Most commonly used for simple, benign cysts.

2. Open Ovarian Cystectomy (Laparotomy)

   • Required for very large or complex cysts.

   • Performed through a larger abdominal incision.

3. Fertility-Preserving Surgery

   • Special care is taken to preserve ovarian tissue for future conception.

   • Ideal for women planning pregnancy naturally or through IVF.

How the Procedure is Done

1. Preparation

   • Preoperative imaging (ultrasound/MRI) is done to assess cyst size and location.

   • General anesthesia is administered.

2. Surgical Steps

   • Small incisions are made (laparoscopy) or a larger one (open surgery).

   • The cyst is carefully separated from the ovarian tissue and removed.

   • The ovary is reconstructed to maintain function and fertility.

3. Duration

   • Typically 1–2 hours, depending on cyst size and complexity.

Recovery After Ovarian Cystectomy

• Laparoscopic: Hospital stay 1–2 days; full recovery in 1–2 weeks.

• Open Surgery: Hospital stay 3–4 days; full recovery in 4–6 weeks.

• Mild abdominal discomfort, bloating, or spotting may occur for a few days.

• Regular follow-up scans ensure proper healing and ovarian function.

Benefits of Ovarian Cystectomy

• Removes painful or problematic cysts.

• Preserves ovarian tissue and fertility.

• Minimally invasive techniques reduce pain and recovery time.

• Prevents recurrence of complications such as cyst rupture.

• Improves chances of conception for women facing fertility issues.

Risks & Complications (Rare)

• Bleeding or infection.

• Damage to ovarian tissue (rare).
