Ovarian Cystectomy Procedure
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove an ovarian cyst from the ovary. Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid or tissue that can form during a woman’s reproductive years. While most cysts are harmless and often resolve on their own, some may grow larger and become painful. In these cases, a physician may recommend an ovarian cystectomy to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
Patients are often asked to undergo diagnostic imaging such as abdominal or vaginal ultrasound to evaluate the cyst and determine its location, size, and makeup. This can help doctors make an informed decision on how to approach treatment, and whether an ovarian cystectomy is necessary.

What To Expect
Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout an ovarian cystectomy. The surgeon will then make an incision in the lower abdomen to access the ovaries. Next, the surgeon will carefully dissect and extract the cysts, ensuring that no damage is done to adjacent structures like blood vessels or other organs. Once all cysts are successfully removed, the surgeon will suture any incisions made during the surgery. When the procedure is complete, the patient will be removed from the anesthesia. The exact nature of this procedure can vary vastly, depending on the surgical approach. Therefore, it is important to meet with your doctor so you know exactly what to expect on the day of your procedure.
After the procedure, patients are advised to rest and avoid strenuous activity. Patients are typically prescribed pain medications to manage any discomfort they experience during the postoperative period. Follow-up visits are required to ensure successful healing and rehabilitation.
