Ovarian Cystectomy

An ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure that removes cysts from an ovary while preserving healthy ovarian tissue. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form on or inside the ovaries and cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, bloating, or irregular periods. Depending on the size and type of cysts, the procedure can be performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive) or through open surgery. By removing only the cysts, ovarian cystectomy preserves ovarian function, which is especially beneficial for women who want to preserve their fertility.
