Often developed as part of the menstrual cycle, ovarian cysts are a common issue for many women. Not usually requiring treatment, there may be some instances where ovarian cysts surgery could be scheduled.
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.
There a two common types of ovarian cysts surgery, and whilst both are relatively straight forward, they will require a patient to be put under general anesthetic.
The first technique is a laparoscopy.
A form of keyhole surgery, two incisions are made and a tube with a microscope attached inserted. Gas is used to move the walls of the abdomen away from the organs, and the surgeon removes all or part of the cysts using small tools.
As this surgery is relatively pain free, does not require an overnight stay, and has minimal risks of affecting a women's fertility, it is the preferred method of treatment.
However, should the cyst be suspected as being cancerous, or be quite large, a laparotomy will most likely be recommended by the medical team.
A more invasive surgery, a cut is made across the top of the pubic area to allow for easier access to the area. The entire cyst will be cut away from the ovaries, and taken off for study. This often requires a stay of two or more days in hospital, to allow the stitches to set, and check the patient's general well being.
Whichever ovarian cysts surgery is recommended, the surgeon will thoroughly explain all risks, and time of stay in hospital required. If necessary, further surgery may be required of course; which will also be discussed as necessary.
