Ovarian Cystectomy at Shalom Clinic
Ovarian Cystectomy at Shalom Clinic, Tirunelveli
Ovarian cystectomy is a specialized surgical procedure performed to remove cysts from one or both ovaries while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible. At Shalom Clinic in Tirunelveli, we provide expert care using advanced surgical techniques to manage ovarian cysts effectively, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients.
Understanding Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or within the ovaries. While many cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some may cause significant pain, discomfort, or complications, necessitating surgical intervention.
Types of Ovarian Cysts
1. Functional Cysts: Often related to the menstrual cycle and typically resolve on their own.
2. Dermoid Cysts: Contain various tissues like hair, skin, or teeth and can grow large.
3. Cystadenomas: Develop on the ovarian surface and may be filled with watery or mucous material.
4. Endometriomas: Result from endometriosis, where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus and attaches to the ovary.
Indications for Ovarian Cystectomy
Shalom Clinic recommends ovarian cystectomy in scenarios such as:
Persistent Cysts: Those that do not resolve naturally.
Symptomatic Cysts: Causing significant pain or discomfort.
Large Cysts: Over 5 centimeters in size.
Complex Cysts: With solid components or abnormal features.
Potential Malignancy: Suspected cancerous cysts based on imaging or tests.
Advanced Ovarian Cystectomy Procedures at Shalom Clinic
Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method due to its minimally invasive nature, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring.
Procedure Steps:
1. Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered.
2. Incisions: Small incisions are made in the abdomen.
3. Laparoscope Insertion: A camera-equipped laparoscope provides a clear view of the ovaries.
4. Cyst Removal: Surgical instruments remove the cyst while preserving healthy ovarian tissue.
5. Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.
Open Ovarian Cystectomy
In cases where the cyst is large or potentially malignant, an open ovarian cystectomy may be necessary. This involves a larger abdominal incision, allowing for thorough examination and treatment.
