A cystectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat and remove ovarian cysts while preserving the ovary. When conducted through small incisions, it’s referred to as a laparoscopic or minimally invasive ovarian cystectomy. In simple terms, laparoscopic cystectomy is a less invasive surgical intervention that employs thin tube-like instruments to remove ovarian cysts.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in or on the ovaries. While most are benign, they can cause discomfort, pain, and other symptoms, and occasionally, they may be cancerous.
Ovarian cystectomy is performed for several reasons, including:
The procedure begins with the administration of general or regional anaesthesia. Small incisions (typically 3 to 4) are made in the abdominal wall, each less than an inch in size, to serve as access points for surgical instruments.
A laparoscope, equipped with a light and camera, is inserted through one of the incisions to provide a clear view of the abdominal and pelvic structures on a monitor. This enables the surgeon to locate and assess the ovarian cyst.
The cyst is then carefully excised from the ovary, taking care to preserve the healthy ovarian tissue. The incisions are then closed with sutures or adhesive strips.
Following the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area. Most patients can go home after a brief hospital stay.
Ovarian cysts can lead to discomfort, pain, and potential complications. Dr. Disha Verman specializes in Gynecological Laparoscopy in Mathura and provides comprehensive care to ensure your complete recovery.
