Ovarian Cysts

Understanding Cyst Removal (Ovarian Cystectomy)

An ovarian cystectomy is a gynaecological surgical procedure to remove ovarian cysts (a sac or pouch on the ovary that contains fluid). These cysts are fairly common and often go away on their own without treatment.

However, if they are large (usually above 5-10 cm), persistent, cause significant pain, or show ultrasound signs of potential malignancy, our experts can recommend ovarian cystectomy.

Cocoon offers the latest minimally invasive “keyhole” techniques for ovarian cyst removal.

Benefits of Ovarian Cystectomy

Here are the key benefits:

• Alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, discomfort, and abdominal bloating because of pressure from the cyst.
• Prevents complications such as rupture (breaking), torsion (twisting of the ovary), or infection.
• Preserves ovaries and fertility when possible.
• Decrease risk of emergency surgery.
• Help address underlying conditions such as endometriosis.
• Shorter recovery and less pain with the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.
