Ovarian cyst removal procedure is an option for women with ovarian cysts. Most cysts are asymptomatic and may not be a cause for alarm as they clear out on their own after one or two menstrual cycles. A doctor may recommend that the cyst be removed for various reasons. These reasons are; if the cyst is malignant i.e. cancerous, if the cyst is large, if the cyst has a large amount of solid matter, if the cyst is very painful and if the cyst is twisted. Older patients are more likely to have cysts that are cancerous.

Cysts may appear in the ovaries for reasons other than the normal menstrual cycles in women. For instance, a patient may have cysts in their ovaries before they begin to have their period or the patient may be post menopausal. If the cyst does not dissolve naturally on its own and the pain in the abdomen increases in severity over time, the doctor may also recommend an ovarian cyst removal procedure.

There are factors that determine whether you will need ovarian cyst removal. These are referred to as risk factors and they are factors that may pose a risk of complications when the procedure to remove the cyst is underway. These factors include; obesity, chronic illness or recent illness, excessive intake of alcohol and smoking,  use of drugs and other narcotics that are mind-altering, use of prescribed medications which include insulin medication, muscle relaxants and sedatives, pregnancy, endometriosis and prior abdominal surgery.

Ovarian cyst removal is not an easy to decision to arrive to. Have an extensive discussion with your doctor about the procedure, its success rate and what it is that you can expect before, during and after the procedure is done. If it is completely necessary that you undergo the procedure then you should expect that the doctor will; conduct a physical exam, review all medications that you are currently taking, conduct blood and urine tests, conduct a CT scan, ultrasound, an X-ray of your chests, lower intestinal tract and the lower abdomen, and an electrocardiogram that will measure the levels of your heart activity.

There are two ovarian cyst removal procedures that are commonly used;
Laparoscopic Surgery involves making a small incision just below the navel and inserting a laparoscope through there. Carbon dioxide gas is then pumped into the abdomen that makes it possible for the surgeon to see all organs clearly. The laparoscope locates the cyst, one or two additional incisions are made and surgical tools are used to remove the cyst.

Open surgery is where an incision is made in the abdomen, abdominal muscles separated and the abdomen is opened up completely.  Blood vessels that supply blood to the ovaries are then clamped and tied. If cancer is found to be present, one or both of the ovaries may be removed to prevent it from spreading.

A few days prior to the ovarian cyst removal procedure you should avoid any aspirin or blood thinning medications and arrange a ride to and from the hospital.
