Introduction: Cysts Are Common, but the Right Treatment Matters
Abdominal cysts — including ovarian cysts, mesenteric cysts, omental cysts, liver cysts, and peritoneal cysts — are more common than people realize. While many remain silent, some cause severe abdominal pain, bloating, menstrual irregularities, digestive discomfort, or pressure symptoms.
Today, the safest and most effective treatment for symptomatic cysts is Laparoscopic Cyst Removal, a minimally invasive keyhole procedure performed through tiny cuts.
At BariOSS Clinic, Tirunelveli, Dr. Christopher S.K. performs advanced laparoscopic and robotic cyst removal, ensuring minimal pain, excellent cosmetic results, and quick recovery.
What Is Laparoscopic Cyst Removal?
Laparoscopic cyst removal uses:
✔ 3–4 tiny incisions ✔ A high-definition camera ✔ Delicate instruments ✔ Precision dissection
The cyst is removed without damaging surrounding organs. This technique is far safer and more comfortable than traditional open surgery.
Deeply located but safely removable with laparoscopy.
Symptoms Indicating a Cyst Needs Surgery
✔ Persistent abdominal pain ✔ Severe pelvic pain (in ovarian cysts) ✔ Menstrual irregularities ✔ Bloating or fullness ✔ Nausea, vomiting ✔ Sudden sharp pain (cyst rupture or torsion) ✔ Large cyst seen on scan ✔ Cyst not reducing after months ✔ Pressure symptoms on bladder or bowel
Ignoring these symptoms may lead to complications.
Complications of Untreated Cysts
⚠ Cyst rupture
Causes severe internal bleeding.
⚠ Ovarian torsion
Ovary twists → emergency.
⚠ Infection
Leads to abscess formation.
⚠ Compression on internal organs
Affects bowel and bladder.
⚠ Infertility (in some ovarian cysts)**
Especially endometriotic cysts.
Why Laparoscopic Removal Is the Best Treatment
✔ Small scars ✔ Minimal pain ✔ Quick discharge ✔ Low risk of infection ✔ Faster return to routine ✔ Preserves normal organs ✔ Best for fertility preservation (ovarian cysts) ✔ Faster healing
How Laparoscopic Cyst Removal Is Done
1️⃣ Tiny incisions (0.5–1 cm) 2️⃣ Camera inserted for magnified view 3️⃣ Cyst separated from surrounding tissues 4️⃣ Cyst removed safely 5️⃣ Organ preserved (if possible) 6️⃣ Incisions closed cosmetically
Surgery time: 45–90 minutes (depending on cyst type)
Recovery After Surgery
✔ Walk within hours ✔ Discharge in 24 hours ✔ Soft diet same day ✔ Office work in 3–5 days ✔ Light exercise in 2 weeks ✔ Full recovery in 2–3 weeks
Why Robotic Surgery Is Excellent for Cyst Removal
✔ Tremor-free precision ✔ Excellent for deep cysts ✔ Best for complex ovarian/multiple cysts ✔ Perfect suturing ✔ Protects fertility ✔ Minimal nerve damage
