About Ovarian Cystectomy

Ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove ovarian cysts while preserving the healthy part of the ovary. This minimally invasive procedure aims to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and protect patients’ fertility.

At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, we offer safe and effective solutions using modern technology and advanced surgical techniques.

What is an ovarian cyst?

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled or semi-solid formations that develop on the surface or inside the ovaries. Most cysts are benign and asymptomatic, but some can cause problems and require surgical intervention.

Functional cysts

Develop during the menstrual cycle and usually resolve on their own.

Dermoid cysts

Contain various types of tissue (hair, skin, fat).

Endometriotic cysts

Caused by endometriosis and contain old blood.

Pathological cysts

May be associated with benign or malignant tumors.

When is ovarian cystectomy necessary?

1. Large cyst

Over 5–10 cm in diameter.

2. Severe symptoms

Severe pain, bloating, or abnormal bleeding.

3. Persistent cyst

Lasts several months and does not respond to medication.

4. Suspicion of malignancy

When there are indications that the cyst may be cancerous.

5. Complications

Risk of ovarian torsion or cyst rupture.

How is ovarian cystectomy performed?

1
Laparoscopic cystectomy
  • Minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions.
  • Uses a laparoscope and surgical instruments to remove the cyst while preserving healthy ovarian tissue.
  • Advantages: fast recovery, minimal scarring, low risk of complications.
2
Laparotomic (open) cystectomy
  • Used for very large cysts or those suspected of malignancy.
  • Involves a larger abdominal incision, allowing direct access for thorough evaluation.

What preparation is needed before surgery?

1. Preoperative tests

Blood tests, tumor markers, ultrasound, MRI.

2. Medications and allergies

Inform the doctor about current treatments and allergies.

3. Diet

Avoid food and drinks 8 hours before surgery.

Recovery after ovarian cystectomy

Recovery after ovarian cystectomy

Recovery depends on the surgical method (laparoscopy or laparotomy) and the patient’s overall condition:

1. Hospital stay
24–48 hours for laparoscopy;
3–5 days for laparotomy.
2. Return to normal activities
Light activities can be resumed within a few days (laparoscopy), while intense activities should be avoided for 4–6 weeks.
3. Postoperative discomfort
Mild pain can be effectively managed with prescribed painkillers.
4. Monitoring
Contact your doctor if you experience fever, severe pain, or abnormal discharge.
