Question 5

What happens during the surgery?

Accepted Answer

The patient is given general anesthesia so that they remain unconscious during the surgery and block pain. The surgery can be performed with an open approach which involves a large abdominal incision or laparoscopically.
Laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal
Laparoscopy can be used for the removal of most cysts. It is a keyhole surgery in which small cuts are made in the abdomen and gas is filled into the pelvis which allows the surgeon to access the ovaries. A laparoscope is a small, tube with a microscope and a light attached on one end. It is inserted into the abdomen to enable the surgeon to see the internal organs.
Then using special instruments, the cyst is removed.
The laparoscopy surgery is preferred by many as it leads to less post-operative pain and discomfort and quicker recovery time. Most women go home on the same day or the next day after the surgery.
During the procedure:
The surgeon will make a small incision just below the navel. Then, a laparoscope will be inserted through the cut. The carbon dioxide gas will be pumped through the incision into the abdomen. The laparoscope is used to identify the cyst and the surgeon will then make 1 or more incisions to insert the surgical instruments and remove the cyst. A tissue sample may be removed to examine for cancer. If the cells are cancerous, it may require the removal of both ovaries. After the cyst removal, the instruments and laparoscope are removed. The incision will be closed using dissolvable stitches or staples. In some cases, the surgery can be switched to an open approach.
Laparotomy
In case of a huge cyst or when there\'s a chance it can be cancerous, a laparotomy may be preferred. During this procedure, the surgeon will make a single, large cut is made on the abdomen to allow the surgeon better access to the cyst. Then the cyst and ovary are removed along with some tissues for a diagnostic tissue to check whether it\'s cancerous. The incision will be closed with stitches or staples. A hospital stays for a few days is usually required after the procedure.

Question 6

Will it affect fertility?

Accepted Answer

If the patient had not been through menopause, the surgeon generally tries to preserve as much of the reproductive system as possible. In some cases, the cyst can be removed while leaving both the ovaries intact, which does not affect the fertility of the woman.
When only one ovary is removed, the other ovary will release hormones and eggs as normal. The fertility is not affected, although it might be slightly harder to conceive.
Sometimes, the removal of both ovaries might be necessary, even when the woman didn&rsquo;t have menopause already. The surgery will result in early menopause and eggs would not be replaced.
However, there are other options for conceiving through IVF with donated egg implanted into the womb. This can be discussed with a fertility specialist to go through all the assisted reproduction techniques.

Question 7

How is recovery after the ovarian cyst removal surgery?

Accepted Answer

The recovery time after the surgery varies for every patient. It also depends on the type of technique used. After the ovarian cyst removal surgery, there might be some pain in the abdomen, and the doctor will prescribe pain killers to manage it. With a laparoscopy or laparotomy, it may take a few weeks before resuming the work and normal activities.
