LAPAROSCOPIC OVARIAN CYSTECTOMY

LAPAROSCOPIC OVARIAN CYSTECTOMY

Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a minimally invasive process to remove ovarian cysts while preserving healthy ovarian tissue. Small incisions are made in the abdomen and then a laparoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera—is inserted to guide the removal of the cysts by the use of specialized instruments. This approach, compared to open surgery, reduces postoperative pain, minimizes scarring, and shortens recovery time. This means that laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is usually done in symptomatic cysts, such as those causing pain or affecting fertility. The procedure aims at alleviating symptoms while maintaining ovarian function and reproductive health.
