About Ovarian Cyst Removal

Ovarian cyst removal, also known as ovarian cystectomy, is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to remove abnormal fluid-filled or solid sacs (cysts) from the ovaries. This procedure is crucial for diagnosing the nature of the cyst, relieving symptoms like pelvic pain and bloating, and preventing potential complications such as rupture or torsion. It is typically performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, which involve small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments, leading to less pain and faster recovery. In some cases, a traditional open surgery (laparotomy) may be required for larger or more complex cysts. The primary goal is to preserve healthy ovarian tissue and fertility whenever possible.

Key Highlights

    Minimally Invasive Options: Laparoscopic surgery offers smaller incisions, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.Symptom Relief: Effectively alleviates chronic pelvic pain, pressure, bloating, and irregular menstrual cycles caused by cysts.Fertility Preservation: Surgeons aim to remove only the cyst, conserving healthy ovarian tissue to maintain fertility.listrongDiagnostic Clarity:/strong Provides a definitive tissue diagnosis, ruling out or confirming conditions like endometriosis or ovarian cancer./lilistrongPrevention of Complications:/strong Reduces the risk of emergency situations like cyst rupture or ovarian torsion./li/ul

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.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-2 days (for laparoscopy), 2-4 days (for laparotomy)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 2-4 weeks (for laparoscopy), 4-6 weeks (for laparotomy)
