Laparoscopic Endometriotic Cystectomy

Endometriotic cysts, or endometriomas, are a common manifestation of endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing pain and infertility. Laparoscopic endometriotic cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove these cysts while preserving ovarian function. For women seeking expert care, Dr. Kanchi Khurana is a highly skilled specialist in laparoscopic surgery, offering advanced treatment options for endometriosis and endometriomas.

Laparoscopic endometriotic cystectomy is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. It involves the use of a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. The surgeon carefully removes the endometriotic cyst while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible. Dr. Kanchi Khurana is known for her precision and expertise in performing this procedure, ensuring optimal outcomes for her patients.

• Have cysts that are large (typically >4 cm) or growing in size.
• Do not respond to medical management (e.g., hormonal therapy).
• Suspect malignancy, although endometriomas are usually benign.

• Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions result in less pain, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

• Improved Fertility: Removal of endometriomas can enhance fertility outcomes, especially when combined with other fertility treatments.
• Effective Symptom Relief: Significant reduction in pelvic pain and other endometriosis-related symptoms.
• Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients typically go home the same day or after a short hospital stay.

1. Preparation:

• Patients may undergo imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound or MRI) to assess the size and location of the cyst.
• Preoperative instructions may include fasting and stopping certain medications.
• Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient is asleep and pain-free during the procedure.

2. Incisions:

• Dr. Khurana makes 3-4 small incisions (5-10 mm) in the abdomen.
• Carbon dioxide gas is used to inflate the abdomen, creating space for the procedure.

3. Cyst Removal:

• The laparoscope is inserted through one incision, providing a magnified view of the ovaries and cyst on a monitor.
• The cyst is carefully separated from the ovarian tissue and removed.
• In some cases, the cyst may be drained before removal to reduce its size.

4. Closing the Incisions:  The incisions are closed with sutures or surgical tape.

• Hospital Stay: Most patients go home the same day or after an overnight stay.
• Pain Management: Mild pain or discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications.
