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.
