Who is this surgery for?
- Presence of a persistent ovarian endometrioma larger than 3-4 cm in diameter.
- Severe, chronic pelvic pain or dysmenorrhea unresponsive to medication.
- Infertility suspected to be caused by endometriomas.
- Suspicion of malignancy, though endometriomas are typically benign.
- Rapid growth of the cyst or signs of cyst rupture or torsion (twisting).
- Failure of hormonal therapy (like birth control pills or GnRH agonists) to manage symptoms.
- Planning for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF, where removing the cyst may improve success rates.
How to prepare
- Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and imaging (ultrasound/MRI).
- Detailed discussion with the surgeon about the procedure, risks, benefits, and fertility implications.
- Informed consent process.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before surgery (nothing to eat or drink).
- Showering with an antiseptic soap the night before or morning of surgery.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (like blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
- Arranging for someone to drive you home and assist you for the first 24-48 hours post-surgery.
- Bowel preparation (enema or laxatives) may be required in some cases to empty the intestines.
Risks & possible complications
- General anaesthesia risks (allergic reaction, breathing problems).
- Bleeding during or after surgery, potentially requiring transfusion.
- Infection at the incision sites or within the pelvis.
- Damage to surrounding organs (bladder, ureters, intestines, blood vessels).
- Formation of adhesions (scar tissue) inside the abdomen, which can cause pain or future fertility issues.
- Rare risk of cyst rupture during surgery, potentially spreading endometriosis.
- Potential for reduced ovarian reserve (egg count) if excessive healthy tissue is removed.
- Recurrence of endometriosis or new cyst formation.
- Need for conversion to an open laparotomy (larger incision) in complex cases.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay is usually 1-2 days for monitoring.
- Mild to moderate pain and shoulder tip pain (from gas used in surgery) is common and managed with medication.
- Incision sites must be kept clean and dry; stitches or steri-strips will dissolve or be removed.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting (>5 kg), and exercise for 2-3 weeks.
- Gradually resume light activities and walking within a few days to prevent blood clots.
- You may experience vaginal bleeding or discharge for a few days.
- Follow a light, easily digestible diet initially and gradually return to normal.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your gynaecologist.

Sara Shah, a 32-year-old marketing manager,...
Sara Shah, a 32-year-old marketing manager, had been trying to conceive for two years. Her periods were excruciating, leaving her bedridden for days each month with deep pelvic pain and severe bloating. An ultrasound revealed a 6cm endometrioma on her left ovary. Her OB-GYN, Dr. Mehta, recommended laparoscopic removal to improve her fertility chances, relieve pain, and preserve ovarian function. Sara was terrified the surgery might affect her egg reserve. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. Recovery involved a few days of soreness and bloating. Six months post-op, her pain was drastically reduced. While still on her fertility journey, she felt a renewed sense of hope and control over her body, no longer ruled by monthly agony.
