What Is an Ovarian Cystectomy?

An ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure that removes an ovarian cyst while preserving healthy ovarian tissue. Unlike oophorectomy, which removes the entire ovary, cystectomy is designed to treat symptoms while maintaining hormonal balance and fertility whenever possible.
Most ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own, but some can grow, rupture, twist, or cause ongoing pain, irregular cycles, or fertility disruption. When surgical treatment is necessary, working with a surgeon who prioritizes ovary-sparing techniques is essential. Women seeking the best gynecologic surgeon in Los Angeles often turn to Dr. Sukrant Mehta for his precision, minimally invasive expertise, and fertility-conscious approach to ovarian surgery.

When Is Ovarian Cystectomy Recommended?

Ovarian cystectomy may be advised when cysts cause symptoms, persist over time, or pose a risk to ovarian health.

You may be a candidate for ovarian cystectomy if you experience:

  • Persistent pelvic or lower abdominal pain
  • Large ovarian cysts that do not resolve on their own
  • Cysts causing pressure, bloating, or discomfort
  • Pain with intercourse or activity
  • Ovarian cysts affecting fertility or ovulation
  • Concern for torsion (twisting of the ovary)
  • Recurrent cysts impacting quality of life

Dr. Mehta evaluates each case individually, taking into account cyst type, size, imaging findings, and your reproductive goals before recommending surgery.

Minimally Invasive Ovarian Cystectomy Options

Dr. Mehta performs ovarian cystectomy using advanced minimally invasive techniques designed to protect ovarian function while safely removing the cyst.

Schedule Appointment
Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
Through small abdominal incisions, Dr. Mehta carefully separates the cyst from normal ovarian tissue. This approach minimizes pain, reduces scarring, and enables faster recovery than open surgery.
Robotic-Assisted Ovarian Cystectomy
For complex cysts or challenging anatomy, robotic assistance provides enhanced visualization and precise control. As the best minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Mehta uses robotic techniques to preserve as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible.

What Happens During an Ovarian Cystectomy?

Preparation

Before surgery, imaging studies and laboratory testing help determine the nature of the cyst. Dr. Mehta reviews all findings with you and explains the surgical plan in clear, straightforward terms.

Procedure

Using laparoscopic or robotic techniques, the cyst is carefully excised while protecting the ovarian blood supply and surrounding structures. The ovary is reconstructed to support normal function whenever possible.

After-Care

Most patients return home the same day. Recovery is typically short, with many women resuming normal activities within one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
