Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Cyst

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside the ovaries and are commonly seen in women during their reproductive years. In many cases, these cysts are harmless and resolve on their own. However, when a cyst grows larger, causes pain, or leads to complications, laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cyst becomes an effective and safe treatment option. This minimally invasive procedure allows a gynecologist to remove the cyst while preserving healthy ovarian tissue and ensuring faster recovery.

Not all ovarian cysts need surgery. Doctors usually monitor cysts with ultrasound and periodic checkups first. But surgery is often recommended when:

• The cyst is large or continues to grow

• Pain or discomfort doesn’t go away

• The cyst persists for several menstrual cycles

• The ultrasound shows unusual or complex features

• There’s concern about twisting (torsion) or bursting of the cyst

• There’s a risk of fertility issues

If you’ve been dealing with symptoms or your scans are showing changes, it’s best to see a gynecologist early. Timely treatment can make a big difference.

“Not every ovarian cyst needs surgery. When it does, our goal is to treat it safely while preserving ovarian health and helping women recover quickly and confidently.” — Dr. Himali Maniar, Gynecologist, Nisha Women’s Hospital

Because of these benefits, many gynecologists prefer laparoscopic removal for eligible patients.

One of the biggest advantages of laparoscopic surgery is a quick, comfortable recovery. Most women go home within a day or two.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Mild discomfort and bloating for a few days

• Light activities can usually be resumed within 3–5 days

• Complete recovery often takes about 1–2 weeks

• Avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise until your doctor says it’s okay

• Follow-up visits help monitor healing and answer any questions

Taking it easy and following your doctor’s guidance makes healing smooth and stress-free.

Laparoscopic surgery is generally safe, especially in experienced hands like at Nisha Women’s Hospital. Still, every surgery carries some risks. These might include:

• Mild bleeding

• Infection

• Injury to nearby tissues (rare)

• Reaction to anesthesia

• Chance of another cyst forming later

Most of these complications are uncommon, and careful surgical planning helps keep them to a minimum.

Laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts is one of the safest and most effective treatment options available today. It allows your doctor to remove the cyst, protect your reproductive health, and support a faster recovery.

If you are experiencing pain, discomfort, or have been told you have a persistent ovarian cyst, don’t wait. Consult a qualified gynecologist at Nisha Women’s Hospital to explore your options and get personalized care.
