Precise keyhole removal of ovarian cysts — preserving ovarian function and fertility while achieving fast, safe resolution with minimal scarring.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within an ovary. They are extremely common, with many women developing them at some point during their reproductive years. Most functional cysts (follicular or corpus luteum cysts) are benign and resolve on their own within one to three menstrual cycles without any treatment.
Surgery becomes necessary when a cyst is large (generally over 5 to 6 cm), causing symptoms such as pelvic pain or bloating, persisting beyond three months of observation, or when ultrasound or blood tests suggest it may not be a simple benign cyst. Types requiring surgical evaluation include dermoid cysts, endometriomas (chocolate cysts), cystadenomas, and any cyst with complex features on imaging.
Laparoscopic cystectomy removes the cyst while carefully preserving the healthy surrounding ovarian tissue. This protects your hormone production and fertility. The procedure is performed through 3 small incisions under general anaesthesia, and most women go home the same day.

General anaesthesia is administered. Three small incisions (5–10 mm) are made. Carbon dioxide inflates the abdomen to create a working space with clear visibility.
The HD laparoscope provides a magnified real-time view of the pelvis. The ovary and cyst are carefully assessed. Nearby structures including the fallopian tube and surrounding tissue are identified.
The cyst wall is carefully peeled away from the healthy ovarian tissue. A specialised retrieval bag is used to contain any spillage, particularly for dermoid cysts, minimising contact with the pelvic cavity.
Any bleeding points on the remaining ovarian tissue are carefully sealed. The ovary is reconstructed where needed. Normal ovarian tissue is preserved throughout.
The cyst is extracted in the retrieval bag and sent for pathology review. Port sites are closed with absorbable sutures. Most patients are ready for discharge within a few hours.
Most patients are discharged the same day, a few hours after the procedure. Mild soreness around the small port sites is normal and managed with simple analgesics.
Rest at home with light walking encouraged. Some mild bloating from residual gas resolves within a day or two. Avoid driving and lifting until you are comfortable.
Return to desk work and gentle daily activity. Avoid vigorous exercise and intercourse until the follow-up review at 2 weeks.
Full unrestricted activity including exercise. A follow-up ultrasound and pathology result review confirms complete recovery. Menstrual cycles resume normally.
Extensive experience with laparoscopic gynaecological procedures, consistently protecting ovarian tissue and fertility outcomes.
Careful tissue handling and precise dissection to preserve as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible, protecting your long-term reproductive health.
Laparoscopic cystectomy allows most patients to return home on the day of surgery, getting back to their daily life with minimal disruption.
