Ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove cysts from the ovaries while preserving healthy ovarian tissue. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop due to hormonal changes, endometriosis, or other gynecological conditions. While many cysts are harmless, some may cause pelvic pain, bloating, irregular periods, or fertility concerns and may require surgical treatment. Ovarian cystectomy helps relieve symptoms and prevent complications while maintaining reproductive health.
The procedure is commonly performed using laparoscopic techniques, which involve small incisions, less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. Treatment is planned based on the size, type, and nature of the cyst to ensure safe and effective management while preserving ovarian function and fertility whenever possible.
