Ovarian Cyst Operation in Gopalganj by Laparoscopy

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac on or inside the ovary. Many cysts are harmless. Functional cysts form as part of the monthly cycle and often go away on their own within a few months. Other cysts, such as a dermoid cyst, an endometrioma (chocolate cyst), or a large or long-lasting cyst, may need surgery.

Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy means removing the cyst by keyhole surgery while keeping the healthy part of the ovary. We take special care over this in young women, because the ovary makes hormones and eggs. When the ovary is badly damaged, or in some older women, we may advise removing the whole ovary (oophorectomy).

We send every removed cyst for histopathology (examination under a microscope) to confirm exactly what it was. This report guides your further care.

To assess a cyst, we usually advise an ultrasound of the lower abdomen, blood tests, a pregnancy test when relevant, and sometimes a blood marker such as CA-125. Small, simple cysts often need only a repeat ultrasound after a few weeks or months.

We may advise surgery when a cyst is large, keeps growing, does not go away, causes pain, or looks complex on ultrasound. Emergency surgery is needed for ovarian torsion, when the ovary twists and its blood supply is cut off, and sometimes for a burst cyst with bleeding. Torsion causes sudden, severe lower abdominal pain, often with vomiting. In torsion, quick surgery gives the best chance of saving the ovary. If tests suggest the cyst may not be simple, we plan the treatment carefully and may take the opinion of our visiting surgical oncologist.

Most women walk the same day and eat light food as we advise. Shoulder or abdominal discomfort from the gas used during surgery may last 1 to 2 days. Light household work can usually be resumed in about 1 week, and heavy work after 2 to 4 weeks, as Dr. Thakur advises. Periods may be a little irregular for one or two cycles. Please come for follow-up with your histopathology report. We may advise a repeat ultrasound later, especially for cysts that can come back.

Diet: start with liquids, then light home-cooked food such as dal, rice, khichdi, curd, green vegetables and fruit. Drink enough water to avoid constipation. Avoid heavy, oily food for a few days.

Activity: walk the same day. Light household work can usually be resumed in about 1 week, and heavy work after 2 to 4 weeks, as your surgeon advises. Please avoid lifting heavy weights until Dr. Thakur says it is safe.

Wound care: keep the small cuts clean and dry, and bathe when our team allows. Shoulder or abdominal discomfort from the gas may last 1 to 2 days. Periods may be a little irregular for one or two cycles.

Warning signs: please call us on +91 72739 94786 or come back to our hospital if you have fever, increasing pain, heavy bleeding, vomiting or pus from a cut. Come for follow-up with your histopathology report; we may advise a repeat ultrasound later.

Families often ask us about the ovarian cyst surgery cost. We do not quote a fixed figure, because it depends on your case. The main factors are: laparoscopic or open surgery, the size and type of the cyst, whether it is a planned operation or an emergency such as torsion, tests such as ultrasound, blood tests and markers like CA-125, the number of days in hospital, a private room or the general ward, any need for ICU care, and medicines. After your consultation and reports, we give you a clear written estimate before admission. You can first WhatsApp your reports to us on +91 72739 94786.

Ayushman card: our hospital has been empanelled under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY since about January 2022 (renewed in July 2025) for general and laparoscopic surgery packages. As of mid-2025, gynaecology packages, including ovarian cyst surgery, were not part of our empanelment, so this operation may not be covered at our hospital. Empanelment can change, so please ask our Ayushman help desk for the current status.

At Dr. R.K. Thakur Hospital, ovarian cyst surgery is performed by Dr. Rajnish Kumar Thakur, our founder and chief surgeon. He is a laparoscopic surgeon with 16+ years of surgical experience and more than 10,000 surgeries, with professional experience at IGIMS Patna and Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi. Whenever it is safe, our aim is to remove the cyst and protect the ovary. Before every laparoscopic operation, Dr. Thakur explains the procedure to a family member of the patient.

Ultrasound and pathology are available within our hospital, and our 24x7 emergency and operation theatres mean a twisted ovary can be treated without delay. Our visiting surgical oncologist holds an OPD on the first Saturday of every month for cases that need a cancer specialist's opinion. Please call +91 72739 94786 or visit our OPD. Ayushman card holders can ask our Ayushman help desk about the current coverage status for this operation.
