Ovarian Cystectomy
An ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or more cysts from the ovaries. Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid or other material that form on or inside an ovary. Most ovarian cysts are harmless (benign), but some can be cancerous (malignant). Surgery is typically only recommended for cysts that are large, cause pain or other symptoms, or are suspected to be cancerous.

There are three main types of Ovarian Cystectomy
Laparoscopy
Laparotomy
Oophorectomy (ovary removal)
Laparoscopy
This is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions in the abdomen. A laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube) is inserted to view the ovaries and cysts. Surgical instruments are then inserted through other small incisions to remove the cyst(s).
TYPES OF OVARIAN CYSTS
- Functional cysts: These are the most common type of ovarian cyst. They form during ovulation and usually disappear on their own within a few months. Examples include follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts.
- Endometriomas: These cysts are associated with endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. Endometriomas can cause pelvic pain and worsen during menstruation.
- Dermoid cysts: These cysts can contain hair, skin, or other types of tissues.
- Cystadenomas: These are benign tumors that can grow large.
- Cancerous cysts: Less common, but some ovarian cysts can be cancerous.
DIAGNOSIS
- Pelvic exam: To check for abnormalities in the size or shape of the ovaries.
- Ultrasound: To visualize the cyst and determine its size, location, and characteristics.
- Blood tests: To check for tumor markers that may suggest cancer.
- Biopsy: In some cases, a tissue sample may be needed to confirm whether the cyst is benign or malignant.
CAUSES/RISK FACTORS
- Childbirth
- Aging
- Obesity
- Chronic cough
- Heavy lifting
- Connective tissue disorders
- Hysterectomy (in some cases)
PREPARING FOR SURGERY
Pre-operative Consultation
- Discuss the surgery details, potential risks and benefits, and recovery expectations with your doctor.
- Review your medical history, medications, and allergies.
- Undergo a physical exam to assess the pelvic floor and potentially imaging tests.
- Follow specific instructions provided by your doctor, which may include:
- Fasting for a certain period before surgery (usually 8-12 hours).
- Stopping or adjusting certain medications, especially blood thinners.
- Quitting smoking, if applicable, to improve healing and reduce infection risk.
- Wearing loose-fitting clothing for easy access during surgery.
- Arranging transportation and assistance for post-surgical recovery.
TREATMENT DETAILS
There are two main surgical approaches for removing ovarian cysts:
- Laparoscopy: This is a minimally invasive surgery preferred for most cases. The surgeon makes small cuts in your abdomen, inserts a camera to view your organs, and removes the cyst through these tiny incisions.
- Laparotomy: This is a traditional open surgery used for larger or complex cysts. The surgeon makes a larger incision in your lower abdomen to access and remove the cyst. The best surgical approach depends on the specific characteristics of your cyst and your overall health.
RECOVERY
Recovery from an ovarian cystectomy depends on the type of surgery you undergo:
Laparoscopy (minimally invasive): This is generally associated with a quicker recovery. You might feel better within the first week, and resume most activities, including work, within 1-3 weeks. However, you'll likely need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for a few weeks. Full healing can take 4-6 weeks.
Laparotomy (open surgery): Recovery from this approach takes longer due to the larger incision. You might need to stay in the hospital for several days and avoid strenuous activity for 6-8 weeks. Full recovery could take up to 12 weeks.
Here are some general recovery tips for both types of surgery:
- Pain management: Your doctor will prescribe medication to manage pain.
- Rest: Take it easy and avoid strenuous activity as instructed by your doctor.
- Incision care: Keep the incision clean and dry according to your doctor's instructions.
- Diet: You might initially be on a restricted diet, gradually progressing to regular meals.
- Activity: Gradually increase your activity level as tolerated.

Commonly Asked Questions
What causes ovarian cysts?
Ovarian cysts can develop for various reasons, including hormonal imbalances during the menstrual cycle, endometriosis, pregnancy, or as a result of an underlying medical condition like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Are there different types of ovarian cysts?
Yes, ovarian cysts can vary in type and composition. Common types include functional cysts (follicular and corpus luteum cysts), dermoid cysts, endometriomas, and cystadenomas. Each type may have distinct characteristics and implications for treatment.
Can ovarian cysts lead to complications?
While most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own, they can sometimes cause complications such as ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary), rupture, or pressure on nearby structures leading to discomfort or pain.
How do doctors determine if an ovarian cyst is cancerous?
Although most ovarian cysts are benign, doctors may recommend further testing, such as blood tests (CA-125) or imaging studies, to assess the risk of malignancy. In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
What treatment options are available for ovarian cysts?
Treatment depends on various factors including the type, size, and symptoms associated with the cyst. Options may include watchful waiting, hormonal contraceptives to regulate the menstrual cycle, or surgical removal (cystectomy).
