Ovarian cysts are common fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries. While many cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some may grow larger, cause pain, affect fertility, or lead to complications like torsion or rupture. When cysts require surgical removal, Ovarian Cystectomy—a minimally invasive procedure—offers a safe and effective solution without removing the ovary itself.
 
In Wakad, Pune, Dr. Rahul B. Chavan, a trusted Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Laparoscopic Surgeon, specializes in advanced laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy to preserve ovarian function and support long-term reproductive health.

What Is Ovarian Cystectomy?
 
Ovarian Cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove cysts from the ovary while keeping the ovary intact. Using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, the surgeon precisely excises the cyst, ensuring maximum preservation of healthy ovarian tissue. This is especially important for women who wish to maintain fertility or hormonal balance.
 
Ovarian cystectomy is commonly recommended when cysts are:
 
  • Persistent or large
  • Painful or symptomatic
  • Causing menstrual irregularities
  • Suspected to be endometriotic or complex
  • Affecting fertility
  • At risk of rupture or torsion

Advantages of Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
Laparoscopic surgery offers several benefits over traditional open surgery, especially when performed by an experienced Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Laparoscopic Surgeon in Wakad, Pune like Dr. Rahul B. Chavan.
 
1. Minimally Invasive Approach
Small incisions mean less pain, quicker healing, and minimal scarring.
 
2. Preservation of Fertility
The ovary is conserved while only the cyst is removed, supporting natural conception and hormonal functions.
 
3. Faster Recovery
Most women return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks with proper care.
 
4. Lower Risk of Complications
Reduced blood loss, lower infection rates, and precise surgical technique ensure safer outcomes.
 
5. Better Diagnostic Accuracy
Laparoscopy offers clear visualization, helping treat cysts more effectively.

When Is Ovarian Cystectomy Recommended?
Dr. Chavan may advise surgery if you have:
 
  • Cysts larger than 5–6 cm
  • Recurrent pelvic pain
  • Endometriotic cysts (chocolate cysts)
  • Ovarian torsion risk
  • Complex or suspicious cysts
  • Cysts interfering with conception
  • Failure of medical management
Each case is evaluated using ultrasound, hormonal assessments, and clinical symptoms before planning treatment.

How Ovarian Cystectomy Is Performed
1. Pre-Surgical Evaluation
A detailed consultation, imaging, and lab tests help determine the type and size of the cyst.
 
2. Laparoscopic Access
Three to four tiny incisions are made to insert a laparoscope and surgical instruments.
 
3. Cyst Removal
The cyst is gently separated from the ovarian tissue and removed without damaging the ovary.
 
4. Ovarian Repair
The ovary is reconstructed using fine sutures, preserving its structure and function.
 
5. Recovery & Discharge
Most patients go home the same day or within 24 hours.

Recovery After Ovarian Cystectomy
Recovery is typically smooth and quick. Most women experience:
 
  • Mild discomfort for 2–3 days
