Ovarian cysts are sacs of tissues, which develop within the ovaries. A very common issue for many women, they are most often completely painless and do not require treatment. However, whilst most remain small and are formed as a normal part of the menstrual cycle, there are some which need ovarian cysts surgery.
This is because most cysts remain absolutely harmless, (benign). However, they can turn cancerous, (malignant), though this cannot be ascertained until they have been studied in a lab.
Whilst ovarian cysts surgery is quite straight forward, it does require general anesthetic. There are two type of surgery available.
If the cyst is small, and does not present any initial concerns, a laparoscopy will be decided upon.
Two small incisions are made to the lower abdomen, a tube inserted and gas blown into the pelvis to ease the wall of the abdomen away from internal organs. A laparoscope, (a flexible microscope), is inserted, in order that the surgeon can see properly, and the cyst, (or part of it), is removed with tiny surgical implements.
This is the most likely option for ovarian cysts surgery, as it does not require a stay in hospital, and recovery times are no more than a couple of days before patients are back to normal daily life.
If the cyst is thought likely to be cancerous, a laparotomy may be scheduled.
This is major surgery; requiring a deep incision to be made along the pubic hairline on the abdomen, and removal of the entire cyst. This may require a stay of two or three days in hospital, and most certainly an overnight stay.
