Dear Jyoti. Traditional surgical procedures or laparoscopy can both be employed to remove ovarian dermoid cysts. The larger the dermoid cyst, the greater complicated the surgery. A larger ovarian cyst could have a greater risk of rupture, which spills the cysts contents in to the surrounding ovary and the body cavity. A ruptured dermoid cyst may cause ovarian: Adhesions Infection Pain. A laparoscopy is really a non-invasive surgical technique sometimes called keyhole surgery or pinhole surgery. Laparoscopy incisions are often very small, and many come in the lower abdominal area. A skinny tube is inserted through the incision. A fiber-optic camera and surgical tools are then threaded with the tube. When removing ovarian dermoid cysts, a laparoscopy tends to: Cause less pain Have shorter recovery time Reduce surgical scarring. A large ovarian dermoid cyst, however, may need more conventional surgical strategies to safely take it off. However, in your case laparoscopic surgery is good. With regards JS Chowhan |
