laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to remove ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovary and can cause pain, bloating, and irregular periods. In most cases, these cysts are benign, but in rare cases, they can be cancerous.
This procedure is done as an outpatient surgery, and it is typically done under general anesthesia. It is considered to be a safe and effective way to remove ovarian cysts, with a shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.
The specific procedure that would be recommended for you would depend on your individual case and the reason for your consultation. Recovery after this procedure is relatively quick, and most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days.
It is important to note that laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is not used to treat all types of ovarian cysts, and in some cases, the cyst may be drained instead of removing it.
