Ovarian Cyst Removal

Ovarian cyst removal is a minimally invasive medical procedure intended to treat cysts that cause symptoms, carry a risk of complications, or affect fertility. The goal of the intervention is to preserve ovarian function while eliminating formations that may impact reproductive health.

What is Ovarian Cyst Removal?

Ovarian cyst removal, also known as cystectomy, is usually performed laparoscopically, allowing the cyst to be removed through very small incisions, which reduces recovery time and postoperative discomfort. This procedure preserves healthy ovarian tissue, which is essential for maintaining fertility.

Ovarian cysts may be functional, endometriotic, dermoid, or of another type, and the decision to intervene depends on symptoms, size, ultrasound appearance, and the risk of complications. Laparoscopy enables both accurate diagnosis and effective treatment in a single procedure.

This intervention is recommended when cysts cause pain, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, or when their malignant potential must be ruled out.

Every treatment is built on a well-defined medical process, carefully structured and tailored to the individual needs of each case. The objective is for the patient to receive clear information, continuous support, and the assurance that every stage is explained in detail—from the initial consultation to the subsequent monitoring period. The entire journey is guided with professionalism, ensuring that medical decisions are made with full understanding.

Although procedures vary depending on each patient’s diagnosis, treatment always begins with a thorough evaluation of the individual situation and the establishment of a personalized strategy. This approach increases the real chances of success and ensures continuity of care throughout the entire journey toward becoming a parent.

During the first appointment, we discuss your symptoms, menstrual history, and any previous episodes related to ovarian cysts. I then review imaging investigations—usually transvaginal ultrasound—to determine with accuracy what type of cyst it is and whether removal is necessary.
After the evaluation, I explain in detail the surgical method most suitable for your situation—whether hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, or robotic—and present both the benefits and risks of the procedure. We discuss the preoperative steps, how the intervention unfolds, and what you can expect afterward, so that you can make an informed decision.
The intervention is typically performed laparoscopically or robotically through very small incisions in the abdomen. My aim is to remove the cyst carefully while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible, ensuring reproductive function is maintained.
After the operation, you remain under observation for a short period, and in most cases, you may return home the same day or the following morning. Mild abdominal pain, bloating, or discomfort may appear, but these are normal and generally resolve quickly.
During the follow-up consultation, we assess your recovery and discuss the outcome of the procedure. Depending on your goals, I guide you on the next steps—whether you wish to pursue natural conception or need additional medical support. Each recommendation is tailored to your clinical situation.
