About Endometrial Cyst

An endometrial cyst, also known as an endometrioma, is a type of ovarian cyst filled with old blood and tissue that resembles the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It is a common manifestation of endometriosis. The primary surgical procedure for its management is laparoscopic cystectomy, performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. This minimally invasive surgery involves making small incisions in the abdomen to insert a camera and surgical instruments. The surgeon carefully removes the cyst wall from the ovary, aiming to preserve healthy ovarian tissue and fertility. This procedure is crucial for relieving pain, improving fertility outcomes, and preventing cyst recurrence. It is the gold-standard treatment for symptomatic endometriomas.

Key Highlights

    Minimally invasive approach with small incisions for less scarring.Effective in relieving chronic pelvic pain and painful periods (dysmenorrhea).Can improve fertility potential by removing a barrier to ovulation.Helps confirm the diagnosis of endometriosis through direct visualization.Reduces the risk of the cyst rupturing or causing ovarian torsion.Typically allows for a faster recovery compared to open surgery./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent pelvic pain or pain during intercourse (dyspareunia).
  • Severe menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) not relieved by medication.
  • Cyst larger than 4-5 cm in diameter or showing suspicious features on ultrasound.
  • Infertility where the cyst is suspected to be a contributing factor.
  • Suspected rupture or torsion of the cyst causing acute pain.
  • Failure of hormonal medications to manage symptoms effectively.
  • Need for a definitive tissue diagnosis of endometriosis.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including blood tests and imaging (ultrasound).
  • Discuss all current medications with your doctor; you may need to stop blood thinners.
  • Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink for 8-12 hours before surgery).
  • Arrange for transportation home and for help during the initial recovery period.
  • Undergo bowel preparation if advised by your surgeon to improve visibility.
  • Have a detailed consultation to understand the risks, benefits, and fertility implications.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding during or after the procedure.
  • Infection at the incision sites or within the pelvis.
