Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

Overview

Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove cysts from the ovaries. This technique is often preferred over traditional open surgery due to its numerous benefits, including reduced recovery time, less postoperative pain, and minimal scarring.
  • Definition: Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy involves the use of a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube) and specialized instruments to remove ovarian cysts.
  • Indications: The procedure is indicated for symptomatic cysts, suspected endometriomas, or when cysts may be causing complications.

How is Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy done?

Preoperative Assessment:
  • Medical History: A comprehensive review of medical history, including any previous surgeries, allergies, and current medications.
  • Physical Examination: A pelvic examination to evaluate the ovaries and rule out other conditions.
  • Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans may be conducted to assess the cyst’s size, type, and location.
Laboratory Tests:
  • Blood tests (CBC, blood type, etc.) to ensure the patient is fit for surgery.
  • Pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy prior to the procedure.
Preoperative Instructions:
  • Avoiding certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) for a specified period before surgery.
  • Fasting instructions for a certain number of hours before surgery.

Anesthesia:
  • General anesthesia is typically used.
Incision and Access:
  • Small incisions (usually 0.5 to 1 cm) are made in the abdomen.
  • A laparoscope is inserted through one incision, while other instruments are inserted through additional incisions.
Surgical Technique:
  • Visual Inspection: The surgeon inspects the abdominal cavity and locates the cyst.
  • Cyst Removal: The cyst is carefully dissected from the ovary and removed, often using a technique to preserve ovarian tissue.
  • Closure: After removal, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.

Common Complications:
  • Bleeding or hematoma formation.
  • Infection at the incision sites.
  • Injury to surrounding organs (e.g., bladder, bowel).
Long-term Risks:
  • Adhesions leading to future pain or infertility.
  • Ovarian dysfunction or hormonal imbalance if ovarian tissue is removed.
