Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Surgery is an important method for removing patients' cysts and a key approach to alleviating their pain. In most cases, patients with ovarian cysts can choose laparoscopic surgery. Depending on the patient's age, young patients undergo cystectomy, while those near or post-menopausal may have their affected ovary removed. During the procedure, the tumor should be as completely excised as possible, and care should be taken to place the specimen in a specimen bag to prevent contamination of the pelvic and abdominal cavity. The excised tumor is typically subjected to rapid pathological examination, and the next step of treatment is determined based on the results. If ovarian malignancy is highly suspected preoperatively and the ovarian tumor is large, open surgery may be considered.
