Laparoscopic Cystectomy (Ovarian Cyst Removal)
A surgical procedure to remove cysts from the ovaries while preserving ovarian tissue.
Ovarian cysts that are large, persistent, or symptomatic may need surgical removal. Laparoscopic cystectomy is a minimally invasive technique that removes the cyst while preserving the ovary whenever possible. This procedure helps relieve symptoms such as pain or bloating and can also assist with fertility concerns.
Related Conditions
Ovarian cysts are solid or fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries and are very common, especially in women of reproductive age. Most ovarian cysts are harmless, cause no symptoms, and often resolve on their own. However, some may lead to symptoms such as pelvic pain or pressure, bloating, irregular periods, pain during sex or bowel movements, or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen. In rare cases, a cyst may rupture or twist (a condition called ovarian torsion), which can cause sudden, severe abdominal pain and requires urgent medical attention.
Nestled within your pelvis are important organs like your ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus (womb), bowel and bladder. Pelvic pain can affect any or a combination of these organs due to a number of common and not so common conditions.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive and endocrine disorder affecting reproductive aged women with one in every 6 to 7 women affected. It has classically been associated with irregular periods although it is possible to have a regular menstrual cycle with PCOS.
