Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent ovarian cysts larger than 5-7 cm that do not resolve on their own.
- Cysts causing significant symptoms like pelvic pain, pressure, or bloating.
- Suspicious cysts with complex features on ultrasound (e.g., septations, solid areas) raising concern for potential malignancy.
- Specific cyst types such as dermoid cysts (mature cystic teratomas) or endometriomas (chocolate cysts).
- Cysts that are growing rapidly or are present in postmenopausal women.
- To treat cysts causing complications like ovarian torsion (twisting) or to prevent rupture.
- As part of the management of infertility when cysts are suspected to be a contributing factor.
How to prepare
- A comprehensive pre-operative consultation with the gynaecologist and anesthesiologist to discuss medical history and the procedure.
- Completion of necessary pre-operative tests, which may include blood tests, an ECG, and a chest X-ray.
- Imaging studies, typically a pelvic ultrasound, to precisely map the size and location of the cysts.
- Fasting (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours before the scheduled surgery time.
- Discontinuation of certain medications, such as blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin), as advised by the doctor.
- Arranging for someone to drive you home after discharge and to assist you for the first 24-48 hours post-surgery.
- Informed consent process, where the surgeon explains the procedure, benefits, and potential risks.
Risks & possible complications
- General risks associated with anesthesia, such as allergic reactions or breathing difficulties.
- Bleeding during or after the surgery, which may rarely require a blood transfusion.
- Infection at the incision sites or within the pelvis.
- Injury to surrounding organs, such as the bladder, intestines, uterus, or blood vessels.
- Formation of adhesions (scar tissue) inside the abdomen, which can cause pain or future fertility issues.
- Rare conversion to an open abdominal surgery (laparotomy) if complications arise.
- Potential for recurrence of ovarian cysts in the future.
- Very rare risk of damage to the ovarian tissue that could impact ovarian reserve and fertility.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay is typically 1-2 days for monitoring pain and ensuring you can pass urine.
- Manage post-operative pain with prescribed medications; it is usually well-controlled.
- Expect some shoulder tip pain from the gas used during laparoscopy; it resolves in 24-48 hours.
- Keep the small incision sites clean and dry; you may shower after 24-48 hours as advised.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting (more than 5 kgs), and vigorous exercise for 2-3 weeks.
- You can usually return to sedentary work within 1-2 weeks, depending on your recovery.
- Follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist in 1-2 weeks to check healing and discuss pathology results if the cyst was sent for analysis.

Myra Roy, a 32-year-old high school...
Myra Roy, a 32-year-old high school biology teacher, had been trying to conceive with her husband for over two years. Her menstrual cycles had become increasingly painful and irregular, accompanied by a persistent, dull ache in her lower abdomen. An ultrasound revealed bilateral complex ovarian cysts, each measuring around 6cm, which her OB/GYN explained could be endometriomas interfering with ovulation. The doctor recommended a laparoscopic bilateral ovarian cystectomy to remove the cysts while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible, hoping to improve her fertility prospects. Myra was terrified that the surgery might damage her ovaries further but felt she had no other choice. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly, with the surgeon successfully excising the cysts and treating some mild endometriosis found during the operation. Her recovery at home took about two weeks, with some abdominal soreness and bloating. Follow-up scans showed healthy ovarian tissue. Emotionally, Myra's journey was a rollercoaster. Before surgery, she felt a deep sense of grief and anxiety about her fertility. Afterwards, while still cautious, she felt a renewed sense of hope and control. The physical relief from the chronic pain was significant, allowing her to approach the next steps in her fertility journey with less fear and more optimism.
