Laproscopy For Ovarian Cysts

Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Surgery: About 10% of women will need surgery for an ovarian mass in their lifetime. Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method to remove most ovarian cysts. This procedure uses small incisions and a camera to view and operate on the ovaries. Laparoscopic surgery can also help diagnose the risk of ovarian cancer. The benefits of laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery are:

• Less blood loss and pain
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
• Preservation of ovarian tissue and function

Laparoscopic surgery aims to remove the cyst intact to avoid spreading any potential cancer cells or causing infection. However, some cysts, such as endometriomas, can be ruptured during the surgery. Laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery is suitable for women of all ages, but especially for those who are young and want to preserve their fertility. If the cyst is very large or cancerous, or if the woman is past menopause, the surgeon may recommend a different type of surgery or removal of the entire ovary.
