Ovarian cyst removal

The operation to remove the ovarian cyst is carried out mainly by laparoscopy through small-sized punctures on the anterior wall of the abdomen. For the operation to remove the cyst, three such incisions are made. The main advantages of this method are a low rate of trauma, a short stay of the patient in the hospital, a quick recovery, no pain and scarring after the operation, the sutures are usually removed on the seventh day.

Removal of the ovarian cyst is performed under full anesthesia. The time of the operation, depending on the severity of the condition, ranges from thirty minutes to one and a half hours. On the day of surgery, the patient is not allowed to drink and eat. If necessary, a cleansing enema is put. Before the operation, the stomach is filled with gases and through the punctures in the abdominal cavity the necessary tools are inserted, by means of which the cyst is removed.

Indications for removal of the ovarian cyst

• Cysts of large size. Large sizes of neoplasms provoke the risk of rupture of the cyst or ovary, which threatens the development of intra-abdominal bleeding, the formation of adhesions.
• The formation of a cyst on the stem, which can cause torsion or rupture of the cyst, up to the removal of the ovary.
• The development of a cyst in the depth of the ovary, which can lead to a violation of its functions.
• Risk of degeneration of the cyst in malignant formation.
• The formation of the endometrioid cyst (often develops against the background of endometriosis).

Laparoscopic removal of the ovarian cyst

Laparoscopic removal of the ovarian cyst, like any surgical intervention, requires pre-preoperative preparation, namely:

• General blood test (maximum two weeks before surgery);
• Analysis of urine and, if necessary, stool;
• Fluorography;
• Carrying out electrocardiography;
• Ultrasound examination of the abdominal and pelvic organs;
• Conducting a thorough examination to identify contraindications to the removal of the cyst;
• Abstention from food and water on the day of the operation;

After performing all necessary procedures, the patient is given anesthesia, and then the abdomen is treated with antiseptics. Next, the cyst is directly removed: a needle is inserted through the puncture in the navel and the abdominal cavity is filled with carbon dioxide, after which a laparoscope is inserted into it, allowing the internal organs to be displayed on a special screen, and through a third puncture, a special device for displacing the internal organs and removing the cyst .

Removal of the endometrioid ovarian cyst

The endometrioid cyst is formed, as a rule, against the background of the development of endometriosis (proliferation of endometrial cells beyond its limits). The removal of the endometrioid ovarian cyst is performed in cases where conservative treatment has proved ineffective.

The removal of the endometrioid cyst can be performed by laparoscopy or laparotomy with preservation of the ovary, if possible. Surgical intervention is indicated in cases where the size of the endometrioid cyst exceeds five centimeters, with the combination of endometriosis and infertility, as well as in the case of the risk of degeneration of the cyst into malignant formation. When the endometrioid cyst is removed, preoperative and postoperative treatment with hormonal drugs is performed to relieve the inflammatory process and prevent recurrence of the disease. After removal of the endometrioid cyst, the patient is also given a restorative physiotherapy treatment.

Removal of the ovarian cyst during pregnancy

Removal of the ovarian cyst during pregnancy is carried out only in emergency cases: if there has been a rupture or torsion of the cyst. Even in the presence of benign education for a pregnant woman, there is a certain risk: in the case of an increase in the cyst to a large size, there may be a rupture or torsion, which causes bleeding and is dangerous for the bearing of the child. Cyst removal during pregnancy is performed by laparoscopy, and in cases where this is not possible, a lower-median incision is made, which allows creating the most sparing conditions for the fetus. As for anesthesia, it is preferable to use local anesthesia during pregnancy for safety reasons. If this is not possible, the operation is performed under regional anesthesia, and only in extreme cases resort to general anesthesia.

Consequences after removal of the ovarian cyst

The consequences after removal of the ovarian cyst arise mainly in the event of a complication of the operation by rupture or torsion of the cyst. Certain risks exist also when removing a tumor of very large size, with injuries and the opening of a bleeding. With the planned operation by laparoscopy, the risks of complications are minimal. Laparoscopic surgery allows minimizing the risk of injury and infection, scars and scars after surgery resorb for several months and become almost invisible.
