Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Cysts

There are two ovaries in women and they play a great role in female reproduction. An ovarian cyst is one of the most common gynecological conditions of ovaries that can develop in women at any age, amidst the menstrual cycle, or after menopause as well. According to Dr. Sushmita Mukherjee, gynecologist and laparoscopic surgeon in Indore, ovarian cysts are categorized into two parts, namely, functional cysts, and pathological cysts. The prior one, functional cysts, are linked to the menstrual cycle and non-cancerous, which, gradually fade away without any medical intervention in a couple of months.

On the other hand, pathological cysts are also non-cancerous, but in rare cases, they can be cancerous. There can be any number of pathological cysts in women, and it develops before and after the menopausal days. A certain part of pathological cysts develops so big that they can restrict the flow of blood to the ovaries. Problematic pathological cysts should be cut off through surgery.

The symptoms of ovarian cysts often go unnoticed until they are ruptured or become so big that they start to block the blood flow to the ovaries. In this case, one may have the following symptoms:

1. Lower back pain 2. Abdominal swelling or bloating 3. Painful or irregular bowel movement 4. Painful intercourse 5. Pelvic pain, dull or sharp, and severe 6. Difficulty in getting pregnant 7. Tenderness in breasts 8. Fever and more

However, if they don’t, your doctor may suggest ovarian cyst removal through laparoscopic surgery.

Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Cysts

Laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts is carried out through pinpoint incisions in the abdominal wall using a laparoscope device. During the operation, carbon dioxide is pumped into the abdominal cavity for the best view. First, the cyst is opened, and then its contents are removed, and then the empty capsule is removed. The recovery time after the surgery is much shorter and is less painful.
