Ovarian cyst surgery is utilized in the diagnosis or the removal of a cyst. It may also be done to rule out other conditions such as ovarian cancer.

A laparoscopy or a laparotomy can be used to diagnose ovarian cysts. In a laparoscopy the surgeon will go through a small incision to view the ovaries. A laparotomy involves a larger incision.

Surgery is called for if the cyst is a solid mass, if it causes pain, or if the ovaries are twisted. Surgical removal is also indicated for cysts larger than 3 inches, cysts that remain for more than 2 or 3 months, or when cysts are present on both ovaries. When a woman is post-menopausal, surgery is usually necessary.

A cyst containing both solid and liquid matter is called a septated (or complex) ovarian cyst. Septated ovarian cysts include dermoid cysts which originate in egg cells, endometrionama cysts which are found outside the uterus, and cystadenomas-cysts which contain fluid and mucus.

Septated ovarian cyst surgery is often required. This type of cyst causes severe pain, and may also be indicative of cancer.

The removal of a cyst by surgery is called a cystectomy. If cysts continue to return an oophorectomy, removal of the ovaries, may be required.

Ovarian surgery for cyst removal may be done by laparoscopy or laparotomy. The surgery takes between one and two hours. Complications of surgery may include infection, blood clots, and infertility. Women who have a cystectomy can generally go home the same day as the surgery, and are able to resume normal activities in one or two weeks.

That’s a very big cyst in the video. If you think you have problems with cysts on ovaries, don’t wait till it get to that stage. Get checked out by your doctor.

I am a 34 years old white female and scheduled for surgery next Friday. I have been diagnosed with ovarin cyst. I have no children but trying to get pregnant. Is it possible to get pregnant after this surgery? I was told it may 1-2 years. We have been trying for awhile now. If you have resources that address fertility conserns would very much appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

I am 41 yrs old and had an open surgery last Friday, Jan. 14, 2011. Sometime in September of 2010, I felt a palpable mass in my abdomen but didn’t give much thought of it. By December, my abdominal girt became larger and I knew there is something wrong with me. My ultrasound sound proved it and I had a CA125 test right away. My result was 9.3 which is low but they scheduled my surgery immediately anyway. They removed my tumor which was twice the size of a new born baby’s head and my right ovary was removed as well. My tumor was mucinous cystadenoma which is benign based on biopsy and a portion of my omentum was also tested to make sure it wasn’t affected. I feel much better now despite the pain caused by surgery knowing I’ll be ok. Ultrasound every 6 months is recommended. If you feel any slight change in you, please seek medical help right away.
