When and Who Is Ovarian Cyst Surgery Recommended?

Surgery may not always be required in the treatment of ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts may disappear on their own over time, so only observation is sufficient. Surgery is required if the ovarian cyst is over 5 cm, solid or semi-solid, growing rapidly, developing close to a malignant cyst, metastasizing in the pelvis or disrupting blood circulation (torsion).

Open surgery can be used if the ovarian cysts are large or malignant. Open Ovarian Cyst Surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Like a Caesarean incision, an incision is made into the area of the cyst and the cyst is removed. However, with today's techniques, performing these operations with closed method or robotic surgery is used more frequently due to rapid healing and minimal tissue damage.

Ovarian cysts are removed by entering with the laparoscope through small incisions to be made just below the navel. Recovery in laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery is much faster and painless.

With robotic ovarian cyst surgery, all ovarian cyst surgeries can be performed, regardless of size and malignancy. With its high vision quality, minimal damage to the surrounding tissue and millimetric incisions, it can be considered the best surgery in terms of postoperative comfort and recovery of the patient.

I had been struggling with ovarian cysts for many years and went through a lot of difficulties because of them. Prof. Dr. Fatih Şendağ performed my third surgery, and now I truly feel so much better. I was able to return to my daily life quickly and without any problems.

From the very beginning, he gave me such confidence that I agreed to undergo surgery for the third time without hesitation.

I’m very grateful to him — I’m so glad our paths crossed.

Sevda Kaymaz

My name is Sevda Kaymaz. On June 27, 2023, I underwent surgery for fibroids and cysts. In total, 10 fibroids, a chocolate cyst, and a dermoid cyst were removed. The operation lasted 6.5 hours and was very successful. I stayed in the hospital for just one day. At first, I had some pain, but it soon decreased with medication. The nurses were very attentive, and I had complete trust in Prof. Dr. Fatih Şendağ from the start.

It’s now been a week since my surgery, and by the third day, I was already starting to return to normal life. Tomorrow, I’ll even be able to drive and go back to work. My recovery process has been incredibly fast.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Prof. Dr. Fatih Şendağ, his team, his assistant Selda Hanım, and all the nurses at Kent Hospital.
Wishing all patients reading this a speedy recovery.

INFORMATION FORM

Myomectomy

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure in which benign (non-cancerous) masses, i.e. fibroids, in the uterus that occur during the reproductive years are removed.

Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is surgery to remove the uterus. It is the second gynecological operation performed on women of reproductive age all over the world.

Endometriosis (Chocolate Cyst) Surgery

Due to its characteristic structure, chocolate cyst is one of the only disorders where the same treatment cannot be predicted for each patient who needs to be treated individually.

Ovarian Cyst Surgery

Surgery is required if the ovarian cyst is over 5 cm, solid or semi-solid, growing rapidly, developing close to a malignant cyst, metastasizing in the pelvis or disrupting blood circulation (torsion).

Urinary Incontinence Surgery

Treatment of urinary incontinence in women depends on the underlying factors. While drug treatment may be sufficient in stress urinary incontinence, in cases such as coughing and sneezing, urinary incontinence due to sagging of the vaginal walls or uterus is encountered in urinary incontinence and its treatment is surgical.

Dermoid Cyst Surgery

Dermoid cyst treatment is surgical. Cysts larger than 60 mm are recommended to be surgically removed. As the size of the dermoid cyst increases, the risk of compression and tearing torsion increases. Dermoid cysts are normally benign and harmless, but they can cause serious health problems when they grow.

Removal of intrauterine adhesions (Asherman Syndrome)

Asherman syndrome is an acquired disease that occurs after a trauma in the uterus.

Isthmocele (cesarean scar)

Another one of my patients who came to us with a dermoid cyst…
Of course, we removed the cyst using the laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgical technique, allowing our patient to return home safely and recover quickly.

A procedure performed with maximum comfort and in the most reliable hands.
Wishing you continued health, dear İrem — see you at your follow-up visit.

Last week, our patient had giant myomas, one of which was 25 cm and the other 20 cm. We patiently removed these benign tumors that had become huge in our patient's uterus, protecting the patient's uterus one by one, and finished our surgery cleanly. Our patient also got rid of all the pain she suffered, heavy and days-long bleeding, and the complaint of weakness caused by her anemia.

Dear Simge, after long researches, she found us and came to our clinic from Cyprus There were adenomyotic area, rectovaginal nodule, endometriotic cysts, fibroids and adhesions. We cleaned all of them one by one with the closed surgical method and regained our patient's health.

With laparoscopy, that is, closed surgery technique, called hydrosalpenx; We cleaned the fluid in the tubes, removed the endometriosis cyst in the right ovary, performed a magnificent surgery and preserved the uterus & ovaries of our patient and left them immaculate.
