Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

Introduction

• An ovarian cystectomy is a medical procedure to
  eliminate a blister from your ovary. Laparoscopic
  surgery is a minimally invasive surgery technique
  that only uses a few small incisions in your
  lower abdomen. Many women will have an ovarian
  cyst at some point during their lives. Commonly,
  cysts will cause little to no symptoms.

Classification

• Most cysts are benign (not cancerous).
• Functional Cysts The most common type of ovarian
  cyst, Follicular cyst, Corpus luteum cyst, Theca
  lutein and granulosa lutein cyst, Poly cystic
  ovarian syndrome.
• Dermoid Cysts Dermoid cysts may be present from
  birth but grow during a womans reproductive
  years.

• Few cysts may turn out to be malignant
  (cancerous). For this reason, all cysts should be
  checked by your health care provider.
• Cystadenomas Cystadenomas are cysts that
  develop from cells on the outer surface of the
  ovary.

Treatment

• Birth control pills - to reduce the risk of new
  cysts developing in future menstrual cycles, the
  doctor may recommend birth control pills.
• Watchful waiting (observation) - sometimes
  watchful waiting, also known as observation is
  recommended, especially if the woman is
  pre-menopausal and she has a small functional
  cyst (2cm to 5cm).
• Surgery - if there are symptoms, the cyst is
  large, does not look like a functional cyst, is
  growing, or persists through two or three
  menstrual cycles, the doctor may recommend that
  the patient have it surgically removed.

Risks

• Possible need for removal of the ovary
• Bleeding during surgery, which may require a
  blood transfusion
• Infection of the bladder or surgical site
• Damage to surrounding organs (bladder, bowel, and
  ureters)
• Possible need for further surgery

Laparotomy

• This is a more serious operation and may be
  recommended if the cyst is cancerous. A longer
  cut is made across the top of the pubic hairline,
  giving the surgeon better access to the cyst. The
  cyst is removed and sent to the lab. The patient
  usually has to remain in hospital for at least a
  couple of days.

Conclusion

• There is no definite way of preventing ovarian
  cyst growth. However, regular pelvic
  examinations, which allow for early treatment if
  needed, usually protect the woman from
  complications.  Although most cysts are harmless
  and go away on their own, health care provider
  will want to keep track of any cyst to be sure
  that it does not grow and cause problems.
