removal of an ovarian cyst
Without knowing or feeling anything, any woman may have had an ovarian cyst. Those who are found to be harmless most likely break out and be gone naturally. These types of ovarian cysts, often referred to physiologic or functional cysts occur throughout the oestrus cycle.
On the other hand, there are several types of ovarian cysts that causes stabbing pain, especially in the pelvic area, and are considered very dangerous especially when these cysts lead to cancer. The more a woman ages, she should pay particular attention to this type of an ovarian cyst. Experts advise to be careful with these symptoms, and once confirmed, these cysts should be removed.
For a cyst to confirm harmful or cancerous, they must undergo a series of simple and complex tests, like checking the stomach or abdomen, blood and urine, CT and pelvic ultrasound.
If your doctor wants to see and possibly remove the ovarian cyst, he or she can perform a laparoscopy. Regarded as a tool for the diagnosis and removal, laparoscopy can be performed on a patient according to the size cyst. It uses a thin lighted telescope inserted into the patient's abdomen to show the size of the cyst and how it can be removed. Because the incision is small, this procedure is preferred by patients.
However, the effectiveness of laparoscopy is dependent the size of ovarian cyst is. If the cyst has grown to more than 6 inches that can not be removed by laparoscopic surgery, Traditional open surgery is the best alternative.
Open surgery is usually more complicated than laparoscopy. A patient will need to have general anesthesia, meaning they will sleep throughout the procedure. Once finished, the patient should normally spend 24 hours in hospital to recover, and have to rest and take it slow for a month or two, depending on how quickly your body recovers from the procedure.
If the cyst is found to be cancerous, the doctor would require the patient to undergo more treatment. However, if the operation was successful and that the cyst is considered benign, the patient will be up on his toes in a matter if days.

Is an ovarian cyst removal surgery an inpatient or outpatient?
I have a 7.5 cm cyst on the ovary right.
It is usually done as an outpatient procedure. I had a laparoscopy performed in 2005 to remove / drain ovarian cyst 8.1cm x 7.7cm on my left ovary and another laparoscopy performed in 2007 to diagnose and treat endometriosis and remove another cyst (4.6cm) on my left ovary. I went to early morning (7:00), had my surgery, just after 9:00 am and was discharged from the hospital around 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. I recommend you discuss your involvement with your doctor or gynecologist and ask them to answer any questions you may have. Good luck:)
