Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent cysts larger than 5-10 cm that do not resolve after several menstrual cycles.
- Cysts causing significant symptoms such as severe pelvic pain, pressure, or bloating.
- Suspicion of malignancy based on ultrasound features (e.g., solid components, septations, increased blood flow).li>
- Cysts that are growing rapidly or are present in postmenopausal women.
- Complications like ovarian torsion (twisting) or cyst rupture causing acute pain and internal bleeding.
- Cysts associated with conditions like endometriosis (endometriomas) or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) causing unmanageable symptoms.
- Infertility evaluation where a cyst is suspected to be a contributing factor.
How to prepare
- Medical Evaluation: Complete physical exam, pelvic ultrasound, and possibly blood tests (e.g., CA-125) to assess the cyst.
- Consultation: Detailed discussion with your gynaecologist about the surgical plan, risks, benefits, and anesthesia.
- Medication Review: Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be stopped temporarily.
- Fasting: Typically, no food or drink (including water) for 6-12 hours before the surgery as advised.
- Bowel Prep: In some cases, a mild laxative or enema may be recommended to empty the bowels.
- Logistics: Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you for the first 24-48 hours.
Risks & possible complications
- General Surgical Risks: Reaction to anesthesia, infection, and bleeding at the incision site or internally.
- Organ Injury: Rare risk of damage to nearby structures like the bladder, intestines, or blood vessels.
- Ovarian Function Impact: Potential for reduced ovarian reserve or, in rare cases, need for removal of the ovary (oophorectomy).
- Adhesion Formation: Scar tissue can develop inside the pelvis, potentially causing future pain or fertility issues.
- Cyst Recurrence: Some types of cysts, like endometriomas or dermoid cysts, may grow back.
- Blood Clots: Risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), though early mobilization minimizes this.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Op: You will be monitored in a recovery area. Laparoscopy often allows same-day discharge; laparotomy may require a 1-3 day hospital stay.
- Pain Management: Prescribed pain medication will help manage discomfort, which is typically most intense in the first 2-3 days.
- Activity: Rest is crucial initially. Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kg), strenuous exercise, and driving for 1-2 weeks or as advised.
- Wound Care: Keep incision sites clean and dry. Watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or discharge.
- Follow-up: A post-operative visit is scheduled to check healing, discuss pathology results, and plan any further care.
- Return to Normalcy: Most women can return to non-strenuous work within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery and resumption of all activities may take 2-4 weeks for laparoscopy and 4-6 weeks for open surgery.

Vikram Gupta, 48, is a single...
Vikram Gupta, 48, is a single father to a teenage daughter. He has been her primary caregiver since his wife passed away five years ago. Vikram began experiencing persistent, dull pelvic pain and bloating that he initially dismissed as stress or digestive issues. When the pain sharpened and he felt a constant pressure, he reluctantly saw his GP, who referred him to a gynaecologist. An ultrasound revealed a large, complex ovarian cyst. The doctor, understanding Vikram's anxiety as a male patient in a gynaecological setting, gently explained that while the cyst was likely benign, its size and characteristics necessitated surgical removal (laparoscopic cystectomy) to rule out malignancy and relieve his symptoms. Vikram was terrified, not just of surgery, but of the potential diagnosis and the impact on his daughter. The procedure went smoothly; the cyst was benign. His recovery at home was uncomfortable for a week, but his daughter helped immensely. The relief from pain was immediate. Emotionally, Vikram moved from fear and stigma to profound relief and gratitude. The experience deepened his empathy for women's health issues and strengthened his bond with his daughter.
