Ovarian Cysts: Diagnosis and Laparoscopic Surgery
Understand when ovarian cyst removal is necessary and the advantages of laparoscopic surgery.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on an ovary; while many are benign and resolve on their own, some require prompt medical intervention.
In Reynosa, detecting a cyst often causes concern. However, when removal (ovarian cystectomy) is necessary, minimally invasive laparoscopy allows for the safe extraction of the cyst, maximizing ovarian health and reducing recovery time.
Criteria for Ovarian Cyst Surgery
- 01.
Size and Persistence: Cysts larger than 5-6 centimeters that do not shrink or disappear after several menstrual cycles.
- 02.
Ultrasound Appearance: Solid features, thick internal septations, or suspicious blood flow detected by Doppler ultrasound.
- 03.
Severe Symptoms or Emergencies: Persistent acute abdominal pain, suspicion of ovarian torsion, or cyst rupture with internal bleeding.
Preserving your ovarian reserve is our priority
When performing a laparoscopic cystectomy, microsurgery is used to dissect the cyst capsule with extreme care, leaving healthy ovarian tissue intact to safeguard your future fertility.
Most laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgeries are outpatient procedures, meaning the patient can return to the comfort of their home on the same day.
