Patient's question:
I am 78 years old this year. During this year's health check-up, it was found that I have developed another ovarian cyst. In recent days, I feel that the cyst has been growing, and there is no pressure sensation on the cyst when bending or squatting. If surgery is necessary, I must have both ovaries removed. I wonder if it can be done through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery?Doctor's answer:
Because your tumor markers are elevated, it is recommended that you have your bilateral ovaries removed through minimally invasive surgery to avoid complications if malignancy occurs, as it would be very difficult to treat. The spread of tumors in the ovaries is the fastest. Generally, this type of surgery can be completed quickly using laparoscopy. Moreover, the psychological trauma is minimal. It is suggested that you carefully consider whether to undergo surgery or other treatments.
