What is ovarian cyst removal?

Cysts can be removed surgically, either through a cystectomy, laparoscopy or laparotomy. Ovarian cyst removal is usually conducted when a cyst is causing uncomfortable symptoms or if ovarian cancer is suspected. Some other reasons for undergoing ovarian cyst removal surgery include:

• The ovarian cyst is particularly large
• The ovarian cyst does not decrease in size or disappear after three months
• There are cysts in both ovaries
