An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms either on or inside an ovary. Most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, some can lead to pain, discomfort, or fertility challenges. While smaller cysts often resolve naturally, larger or symptomatic cysts might require medical attention. A common treatment option is laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian cysts, a procedure that removes the cyst while preserving ovarian health.
The presence of ovarian cysts can manifest differently for individuals. Seek medical advice if you experience:
Laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian cysts is a minimally invasive procedure where small abdominal incisions are made to remove the cyst. A laparoscope—a thin tube equipped with a camera—allows the surgeon to precisely view and excise the cyst while preserving ovarian tissue.

Ovarian cystectomy is the surgical removal of an ovarian cyst while leaving the surrounding ovarian tissue intact.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery:
It’s important to avoid heavy lifting, intense exercise, or sexual activity for a few weeks after surgery to promote healing.
The goal of ovarian cystectomy is to preserve fertility by removing the cyst while maintaining the health of the ovary. In most cases, women can still conceive after the procedure, as long as the remaining ovarian tissue is healthy.
However, if the cyst is large or if a significant portion of the ovary is removed, there may be a risk to fertility. In such cases, fertility preservation options, such as egg freezing, may be discussed before surgery.
Before the surgery, you will need to:
It’s essential to follow pre-operative instructions to ensure the best outcome.
There is a small risk that the cyst may recur, especially if the underlying cause, like hormonal imbalances or endometriosis, is not addressed. If cysts continue to recur, further treatment may be necessary.
Ovarian cystectomy is generally not performed during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary (e.g., if the cyst causes complications such as ovarian torsion or rupture). In most cases, doctors will monitor the cyst until after childbirth, unless immediate intervention is needed.
