Ovarian Cyst Surgery – Safe & Advanced Treatment

Ovarian cyst surgery is performed to remove cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that develop on or inside the ovaries. While many cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some may require surgical treatment. Experienced Gynaecology Specialists ensure safe and effective management using advanced, minimally invasive techniques.

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on the ovary. Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and may disappear without treatment. However, larger or persistent cysts may need medical attention.

When is Ovarian Cyst Surgery Needed?

Surgery may be recommended if:

• The cyst is large or growing
• Persistent pain or discomfort
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Suspicion of cancer
• Cyst rupture or twisting (ovarian torsion)
• Infertility issues related to cysts

Types of Ovarian Cyst Surgery

1. Laparoscopic Cyst Removal (Cystectomy)

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Small incisions with faster recovery
• Preferred for most cases

2. Open Surgery (Laparotomy)

• Used for large or complex cysts
• Requires a larger incision

3. Oophorectomy

• Removal of one or both ovaries (in severe cases)

Benefits of Ovarian Cyst Surgery

• Relief from pain and discomfort
• Prevention of complications
• Preservation of reproductive health (in most cases)
• Early treatment of potentially serious conditions

Risks and Considerations

• Infection or bleeding
• Temporary pain after surgery
• Rare risk of damage to nearby organs
• Possible impact on fertility (in specific cases)

Your gynaecology specialist will discuss all risks and benefits before the procedure.

Recovery After Surgery

• Hospital stay: Same day or 1–2 days (laparoscopy)
• Recovery time: 1–3 weeks (laparoscopy), longer for open surgery
• Resume normal activities gradually
• Follow post-operative care instructions
