Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove ovarian cysts while preserving the ovary. It is commonly performed for cysts that cause pain, irregular periods, or fertility issues. The procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope and surgical instruments. The cyst is carefully separated from the ovary and removed without damaging surrounding tissue. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopy offers quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. Most patients are discharged the same day and resume normal activities within a week. Potential complications include infection, bleeding, or recurrence of cysts. Post-operative care involves avoiding strenuous activities and following up with ultrasounds to monitor ovarian health. Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a safe and effective procedure that preserves fertility while providing long-term relief from cyst-related symptoms.
