- A small incision is placed around your umbilicus and through this your abdomen is inflated with Co2 gas and then a fiberoptic telescope is introduced and all abdominal organs are inspected.
- 2 or 3 more such tiny incisions are placed on the abdomen through which other tiny laparoscopic instruments are inserted.
- The ovarian cyst is inspected. Your gynecologists will always try to minimize the spillage of the cyst contents inside the abdomen and try to place the cyst inside a bag called an endobag and then remove it intact and puncturing it outside the abdominal cavity so that your inside of the abdomen is not contaminated with cyst contents. Sometimes it may be necessary to aspirate the cyst if its too big. In that case; the cyst is ruptured inside the endobag and it is removed after its complete deflation. Your gynecologists will try to remove the entire cyst wall without keeping its residues inside to prevent it from developing again. Almost all cysts can be cleared off their cyst walls completely barring a few exceptions like chocolate cysts.
- If the need be in rare cases complete removal of the ovary with the cyst may be advised due to reasons like cancer potential; infection or bleeding. And your gynecologists will guide you about it.
