Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove cysts that have formed on the ovaries. Most of the cysts in the ovary go away without any kind of treatment. But if you need surgery to remove a cyst, it can be a laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy.
It is a minimally invasive technique that involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using specialized tools and a laparoscope (a thin, lighted instrument with a camera) to visualize and remove the cysts.

Procedure Of Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
During the procedure, the patient is placed under general anesthesia. The surgeon at Punya Hospitals makes a few small incisions in the lower abdomen and inserts the laparoscope and other surgical instruments through these incisions. The laparoscope provides the surgeon with a magnified view of the ovaries, allowing them to identify and remove the cysts.
The surgeon carefully separates the cyst from the ovarian tissue and removes it through one of the small incisions. In some cases, the entire ovary may need to be removed. The incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical glue.

The doctors at Punya Hospital are experts in the field of healthcare over the last 23+ years, thus they have effective knowledge about post-recovery.

Most patients can go home the same day as the procedure or the following day. Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the cyst, but most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days to a week.
