Ovarian Cyst Removal in India
Quick answer
Ovarian cyst removal (cystectomy) takes out a fluid-filled sac from the ovary, ideally keeping the healthy ovary. It is for cysts that are large, painful, persistent, or look unusual on scans. It is usually done by keyhole surgery with a one-night stay, and a short stay of about a week in India.

Many ovarian cysts are harmless and disappear on their own. Surgery is advised when a cyst grows, causes pain, risks twisting the ovary, or has features that need checking. Endometriomas (chocolate cysts) and dermoid cysts often need removal.
The aim is to remove only the cyst and protect the ovary, especially in younger women. If a cyst looks suspicious for cancer, a gynaecological oncologist may plan surgery differently. Removed tissue is always sent for testing.
Who needs ovarian cyst removal
- Persistent cysts that do not resolve over a few cycles
- Large cysts or cysts causing pain or pressure
- Dermoid cysts or endometriomas
- Cysts at risk of ovarian torsion (twisting)
- Cysts with unusual features on ultrasound or MRI
How it is done
- Ultrasound or MRI and tumour marker blood tests assess the cyst.
- General anaesthesia is given.
- Keyhole ports are inserted, or an open cut is used for very large cysts.
- The cyst is separated from the healthy ovarian tissue.
- It is removed whole or in a bag to avoid spillage.
- The ovary is repaired and bleeding controlled.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my ovary during cyst removal?
The aim is to keep it. Sometimes the ovary must be removed if the cyst has replaced it or looks concerning. This is discussed before surgery.
Can ovarian cysts come back?
Yes, some types like endometriomas can return. Hormonal treatment may help prevent this. Regular scans help monitor.
Does cyst removal affect fertility?
It can lower egg reserve, especially with endometriomas. Careful surgery helps protect it. An AMH test beforehand helps planning.
What if the cyst turns out to be cancerous?
This is uncommon in younger women. Tests before surgery help assess risk. If cancer is found, further treatment is planned with an oncologist.
How soon can I travel after ovarian cyst surgery?
Most women can fly after a review within about a week. Wait for your histology result if possible. Carry your discharge summary.
