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.

Types of Ovarian Cystectomy  Procedures at Cocoon Hospital

Our surgeons are experienced in performing both methods to remove ovarian cysts:  

Methods Details
Laparoscopic “Keyhole” Ovarian Cystectomy Our surgeon inserts a tiny camera with a light at the tip (laparoscope) through a small abdominal incision (usually 0.5 to 1.5 cm). This allows clear visualization of the reproductive and pelvic organs. Two additional small incisions are then made to insert specialized surgical instruments, and the ovarian cyst is carefully removed through these openings.
Open Cystectomy (Laparotomy) A laparotomy may be recommended when laparoscopy is not suitable due to patient anatomy, a large or complex cyst, or anticipated surgical complications. In this procedure, our surgeon makes a larger abdominal incision to safely remove the ovarian cyst.

When is Ovarian Cyst Removal Needed ?

Our experts can consider ovarian cystectomy if:

  • The cyst is large (often>5-10 cm).
  • The cyst persists for several months or continues to grow.
  • It causes severe pain, pressure, or complications such as rupture or ovarian torsion.
  • Our experts suspect malignancy or abnormal growth on advanced imaging.

Ovarian Cystectomy & Procedures at Cocoon Hospital: Step-by-Step Approach

Here is what you can expect:

  • Pre-surgical evaluation
    Detailed review of your medical history, imaging, and comprehensive diagnostic tests.
  • Advanced imaging
    Ultrasound and laparoscopy will be done for the accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Personalized surgical planning
    Surgeons may use laparoscopic or open surgery to remove ovarian cysts based on several factors, such as:
  • The size of the cyst.
  • If the cyst is painful.
  • Future family planning.
  • Risk of cancer.
  • Prior surgeries and medical history.
  • Surgical procedure

Minimally invasive or open surgery is done under general anesthesia.

Monitoring, pain management, and recovery guidance.

  • Post-operative care
  • Fertility preservation

Focus on preserving ovarian tissue and reproductive potential whenever possible.

  • Recovery after ovarian cyst removal

It depends on the type of surgery performed:

  • Laparoscopic Surgery: About 1 to 3 weeks for recovery
  • Open Surgery: May take up to 6 to 8 weeks or as long as 12 weeks

At Cocoon, experts prioritize minimally invasive keyhole techniques, as most patients can return to normal activities sooner with this.

Is Ovarian Cystectomy a major surgery ?

It depends on the type of methods used:

  • Laparoscopic (Keyhole): It is minimally invasive, which comes with features like small incisions, less pain, and usually 1–3 weeks to recover.
  • Laparotomy (Open) (laparotomy) is more major, which comes with features like one larger abdominal incision, a longer hospital stay, and 6–12 weeks to fully recover.

Can removing an Ovary affect weight?

Yes, removing an ovary can affect weight, but it’s generally indirect and can vary from person to person.

How fast can an Ovarian Cyst grow back after Surgery?

Only 10 to 15 percent of ovarian cysts will grow back after removal. However, new cysts may appear after surgery within a few menstrual cycles, but the speed and likelihood are based on the type of cyst and your underlying condition.
