Ovarian Cystectomy: Safe & Effective Treatment for Ovarian Cysts

What is Ovarian Cystectomy?

Ovarian Cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove ovarian cysts while preserving the ovary. It is recommended when cysts cause pain, affect fertility, or show signs of abnormal growth. The procedure can be done using laparoscopy (minimally invasive) or open surgery depending on the cyst’s size and complexity.

When is Ovarian Cystectomy Recommended?

Ovarian Cystectomy is advised for:

Persistent or Painful Cysts – When cysts do not resolve on their own and cause discomfort.
Large Ovarian Cysts – Cysts larger than 5 cm that may lead to complications.
Suspicious or Cancerous Cysts – If the cyst appears abnormal or has a risk of malignancy.
Cysts Causing Fertility Issues – When ovarian cysts interfere with ovulation or conception.
Twisted Ovarian Cyst (Ovarian Torsion) – A medical emergency requiring immediate surgery.
Endometriotic Cysts (Chocolate Cysts) – Found in women with endometriosis, affecting fertility and causing severe pain.
