An ovarian cyst is a benign neoplasm localized in the tissues of the organ; it is a cavity filled with fluid. When treating this neoplasm, it is possible to use medications or surgical removal of the ovarian cyst; the price of this service varies depending on the type of medical institution.
Many women who have been diagnosed with this disease ask many questions related to how long the operation to remove an ovarian cyst lasts and what the consequences may be after removing the tumor. Specialists at the Oncology Clinic of the Yusupov Hospital honestly and clearly answer patients’ questions, so after consultation you know how to remove an ovarian cyst in women.
Removal of an ovarian cyst: types of operations
Ovarian cysts are diagnosed in most cases in women of reproductive age, but the development of neoplasms can occur during the postmenopausal period. If a woman is indicated for removal of an ovarian cyst, what operation will be performed is determined by the surgeon based on the diagnostic results. At the Yusupov Hospital, the decision to prescribe surgical removal of a tumor is made by a council of doctors committed to interdisciplinary cooperation.
Removal of an ovarian cyst, the price of which in Moscow in private clinics may be higher, is performed using several methods:
- Removing an ovarian cyst with a laser is the fastest and most accurate compared to other methods. With this method of removal, the likelihood of bleeding is minimal, since the laser beam not only cuts the tissue, but also cauterizes the damaged blood vessels;
- Ovarian laparoscopy is an operation in which three small incisions are made in the lower abdomen through which the surgeon inserts instruments and a miniature camera. Laparoscopy in modern medicine is a minimally invasive and painless procedure that is used by surgeons at the Yusupov Hospital, which is a place where surgery to remove an ovarian cyst can be done efficiently and with minimal damage. When removing an ovarian cyst, healthy tissue is not injured.
- Laparotomy of an ovarian cyst is based on making incisions on the woman’s abdomen through which a benign tumor or ovary is removed. Abdominal surgery to remove an ovarian cyst is prescribed in exceptional cases: in case of large neoplasms, purulent processes, torsion of the cyst, or malignant tumor.
At the Oncology Clinic of the Yusupov Hospital, ovarian cysts are removed with a laser; in addition, specialists are proficient in laparoscopy and laparotomy techniques. Surgical removal of an ovarian cyst at the Yusupov Hospital is preceded by a comprehensive diagnosis and consultation with experienced specialists.
Types of cysts
Depending on the source of occurrence, there are different types of eyeball cysts:
- congenital, associated with iris dissection;
- spontaneous ones affect people of different ages, the cause has not yet been identified; with serous, the ball is transparent, with pearl, its walls are dense;
- traumatic ones occur as a result of damage to the eyeball or after an unsuccessful operation;
- exudative are the result of glaucoma;
- due to infection, the ocular conjunctiva gives rise to a retention conjunctiva or, after intervention, an implantation conjunctiva grows;
- stromal is detected and disappeared unpredictably;
- dermoid is formed due to displacement of the epithelium.
The latter originates in utero due to the adverse effects on the mother of medications, radiation, and infection. Dermoid leads to edema, strabismus, amblyopia, astigmatism, and optic nerve atrophy. It cannot be cured, it must be eliminated.
Surgery to remove an ovarian cyst: indications
The tactics of surgical treatment of ovarian cysts are determined by several factors, including the stage of the disease, the type of tumor, the likelihood of an oncological process and concomitant diseases. The operation to remove an ovarian cyst, the price of which is determined by the conditions of the patient’s stay in the clinic, at the Yusupov Hospital is aimed at preserving the function of the ovary and the reproductive health of the patient.
The main indications for the use of various methods of surgical treatment of ovarian cysts are:
- rapid increase in cyst size;
- high probability of degeneration of a benign tumor into a malignant neoplasm;
- severe abdominal pain;
- signs of compression of nearby organs.
Emergency removal of an ovarian cyst, the price of which is determined according to the current price list of the Yusupov Hospital, is carried out in the event of tumor rupture, twisting of its stem, hemorrhage and other complications. The Yusupov Hospital accepts patients in serious condition on weekends and holidays, 24 hours a day.
Diagnosis of the disease
- Visual inspection;
- control of intraocular pressure;
- assessment of visual fields and visual acuity;
- determining the state of the optic nerve and the state of the retinal vessels;
- establishing the exact location;
- establishing the composition of the liquid inside the bubble.
The ophthalmologist uses methods such as tonometry, perimetry, biomicroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to make a diagnosis. The cyst is visible to the naked eye; additional studies are required to establish the general picture of the disease and exclude the malignancy of the tumor.
How to remove an ovarian cyst in women
Many patients who have been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst ask the specialist how the operation is going. At the preparatory stage, a woman undergoes a series of studies and tests. In addition, specialists at the oncology clinic recommend that patients before surgery adhere to a special diet that excludes foods that cause gas formation.
Removal of the tumor in various ways occurs in stages. Thus, laser removal of an ovarian cyst is based on cutting the skin with a laser beam, which also excises the tumor. During laparoscopy, a small hole is created on the anterior abdominal wall through which a camera is inserted, and instruments are inserted into the abdominal cavity through two other punctures. After this, the progress of the operation is displayed on a special screen. During laparoscopy, at the initial stage, the cyst capsule is punctured and its contents are extracted, then the membrane is removed. To prevent an infectious process, the abdominal cavity is washed with an antiseptic solution. At the final stage, the surgeon sews up the punctures.
During laparotomy, a cyst on the ovaries in women is removed; the operation can also be aimed at excision of the ovary. During this operation, an incision is made in the abdomen through which the cyst or ovary is removed. Specialists at the Yusupov Hospital perform laparotomy in cases where a neoplasm threatens a woman’s life.
Postoperative period
On the first day after surgery, the doctor prescribes painkillers. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe an additional course of antibiotics. You are allowed to get out of bed 3-5 hours after laparoscopy. Discharge from the hospital occurs within two days in the absence of complications. Suture removal is scheduled 6-7 days after surgery. Until the start of the next menstruation, a woman is not recommended to lift weights, experience significant physical activity and have sexual activity. The scars from the operation disappear in a short time and become invisible. During the first 24 hours after recovery from anesthesia, patients may experience pain, which is relieved with anesthetics.
Nutrition
After laparoscopy, the doctor may prescribe a special diet that excludes alcoholic drinks and heavy foods. In the first days after surgery, experts recommend consuming broths, fermented milk products, cereals, up to 1.5 liters of water per day and sticking to fractional meals (eating food in small portions, dividing it into 5-6 meals).
Possible complications
The following symptoms may indicate the presence of infection:
- increased body temperature;
- lower abdominal pain;
- dark colored discharge.
Most often, complications occur due to factors:
- obesity;
- taking certain types of medications;
- alcohol and tobacco consumption;
- pregnancy.
At the first symptoms of discomfort after surgery, you must immediately consult a doctor for an ultrasound and detailed diagnostics, based on the results of which re-treatment will be prescribed.
Pregnancy after laparoscopy
Many women worry about the possibility of pregnancy after laparoscopy. Modern technologies of minimally invasive surgical treatment make it possible to preserve reproductive ability even after removal of a formation of significant size.
A woman should plan to conceive no earlier than 2-6 months after the operation. Regular visits to your doctor to monitor your condition are also required. Observation in a hospital for a detailed examination is possible. To maintain health and prevent the recurrence of formations in the ovary, the doctor may prescribe medication aimed at balancing hormonal levels.
In the postoperative period, pregnancy may not occur due to the persistence of the disease focus. In this situation, a repeat laparoscopy is prescribed to finally remove the cyst and complete the treatment.
