Ovarian Cyst Removal in India

Ovarian cystectomy removes a fluid-filled or solid cyst from the ovary while preserving the ovary itself and, wherever possible, its function. Most ovarian cysts are benign, often related to normal ovulation, endometriosis, or polycystic ovary syndrome, and surgery is generally recommended only when a cyst is large, causing pain, or has features that need a closer look.

Procedures Available

Laparoscopic cystectomy is the standard approach for most cysts, using small abdominal incisions and a camera-guided technique. Open cystectomy, through a single larger incision, is reserved for larger cysts or cases where cancer cannot be ruled out beforehand, since it gives the surgeon a fuller view and more room to work if the findings turn out to be more serious than expected.

Cost

The estimate covers pre-operative evaluation, the surgery, anaesthesia, and hospital stay through discharge. Open cystectomy costs more than laparoscopic surgery given the longer operating time and recovery period involved.

How Long the Trip Takes

Most patients plan for 7 to 10 days in India, covering a couple of days for pre-op evaluation, 1 to 2 days in hospital after surgery, and a short period of local recovery before flying home.

Choosing a Hospital

Choose a gynaecologist experienced in laparoscopic ovarian surgery specifically, since preserving ovarian tissue and function during cyst removal takes more surgical care than simply removing the cyst. If there is any suspicion the cyst could be cancerous, confirm the hospital has gynaecologic oncology support available for the same admission.
