Ovarian cyst removal, medically termed cystectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate cysts that develop on or within the ovaries. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form during a woman’s menstrual cycle. While many ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own, some may cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, bloating, or irregular menstruation. In cases where ovarian cysts are large, persisting, or causing complications, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove them.
Ovarian cyst removal is typically performed by gynecologic surgeons by minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, to minimize scarring, reduce recovery time, and preserve ovarian function or mini laparotomy.
Ovarian cysts can develop for various reasons, and the underlying cause often dictates their characteristics and potential complications. Common causes of ovarian cyst formation include:
Formed when a follicle fails to rupture during ovulation, causing fluid accumulation within the follicle.
They support pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, they typically resolve on their own.
Result from endometriosis, a condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing cysts to form in the ovaries.
Contain tissues such as hair, skin, or teeth and develop from embryonic cells.
Develop from ovarian tissue and may be filled with fluid (serous cystadenomas) or mucus (mucinous cystadenomas).
Symptoms of ovarian cysts can vary depending on their size, type, and location. Common symptoms may include:

Gathering information about symptoms, duration, and any underlying medical conditions or risk factors.
Palpating the affected area to assess the size, texture, tenderness, and mobility of the cyst.
Utilizing imaging modalities such as ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans to visualize the cyst, and determine its size, location, and characteristics.
