Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or pockets that develop on or inside one or both ovaries. While many ovarian cysts are benign, functional, and resolve on their own, some cysts can persist, grow large, or become symptomatic. Cysts such as dermoid cysts, cystadenomas, and endometriomas (chocolate cysts) can cause pelvic discomfort, heavy irregular bleeding, abdominal bloating, and severe pain if they rupture or cause ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary, which cuts off its blood supply).
At Nova IVF, we perform Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy—a minimally invasive keyhole surgical procedure to remove the cyst while preserving the healthy ovarian tissue. Under high-definition visualization, our expert surgeons shell out the cyst wall with extreme precision, safeguarding the woman's ovarian reserve (egg supply) and future fertility. Because this technique avoids a major abdominal incision, it offers significant patient advantages, including minimal post-operative pain, negligible blood loss, a very low risk of pelvic adhesions, and a prompt return to daily activities.
Key Advantages of Ovarian Cyst Surgery:
- Ovary Preservation — removes only the cyst wall while carefully preserving healthy ovarian tissue and egg reserves.
- Protects Fertility — reduces the formation of pelvic scar tissue (adhesions), keeping fallopian tubes and ovaries clear for future pregnancy.
- Torsion Prevention — removes large cysts to prevent ovarian torsion, a medical emergency that can lead to loss of the ovary.
- Minimally Invasive — performed using microscopic keyhole incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal bleeding, and minor cosmetic marks.
- Quick Recovery — patients typically return home within 24 hours and resume normal daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
